Details

This document includes the government response, line by line, to each recommendation in the independent review on the:

Defra commissioned the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) to conduct the review. AHDB is a statutory levy board, funded by farmers, growers and others in the supply chain to support the farming industry.  

It’s a review of how changes to the industry in the past decade could affect current legislation to meet future challenges relating to pig health and disease control.
