2) Training of personnel regarding their responsibilities and the significance of their role in improving animal health, human health and food safety. 3) Maintenance of records including data on pig health, production, movements, medications, vaccination, mortality, surveillance, and cleaning and disinfection of farm buildings and equipment. 4) Veterinary supervision of pig health and Salmonella control. 5) Removal of unwanted vegetation and debris that could attract or harbour pests around pig housing. 6) Prevention of entry of wild birds into pig houses and buildings. 7) Cleaning and disinfection procedures for pig housing, general equipment, transportation equipment and animal walkways. The cleaning and disinfection procedures for pig housing after emptying should include at least feeders, drinkers, floor, walls, aisles, partitions between pens, and ventilation ducting. All visible organic material should be removed before disinfection with a suitable disinfectant at an effective concentration. Disinfectants should be used in accordance with Chapter 4.13. 8) Procedures for the control of vermin such as rodents and arthropods should be in place and regular checks should be carried out to assess effectiveness. When the presence of vermin is detected timely control actions should be taken to prevent the development of unmanageable populations; for example, the placement of baits for rodents where they are nesting. 9) Controlled access of persons and vehicles entering the establishment. 10) Biosecurity measures applied to all personnel and visitors entering the establishment. This may should include, at a minimum, hand washing and changing into clean clothes and footwear provided by the establishment. Similar precautions are recommended when moving between separate epidemiological units on large farms. 11) Vehicles and equipment identified as a risk in the biosecurity plan should be cleaned and disinfected before entering the establishment. 12) Pig carcasses, bedding, faeces and other potentially contaminated farm waste should be stored and disposed of or handled in a safe manner to minimise the risk of dissemination of Salmonella and to prevent the direct or indirect exposure of humans, livestock and wildlife to Salmonella. Particular care should be taken when pig bedding and faeces are used to fertilise horticultural crops intended for
