1. Biosecurity performance depends on daily execution

ASF, PRRS and PED remain persistent risks across global swine production. National borders and farm boundaries do not prevent transmission, and written protocols reduce risk only when they are followed and verified. Many farms already have procedures for disinfection, quarantine and vehicle movements. The operational challenge is to determine which transmission routes matter most, identify controls that are failing, and decide whether biosecurity investment matches actual exposure. The maturity of a biosecurity program is measured through daily execution and verification, not by the length of its manual.  

On October 22, 2026, the 15th Leman China Swine Conference will examine farm biosecurity through its Air Filtration and Biosecurity Forum. The program will address filter performance and limitations in sow farms, the role of biosecurity in reducing antimicrobial use and antimicrobial resistance, and air-filtration practices at Muyuan Foods. By bringing research evidence together with operating experience from a large-scale Chinese producer, the forum allows delegates to compare design assumptions with performance under commercial conditions.

2. Air filtration is one part of a complete biosecurity system

Air filtration depends on more than filter media. Building tightness, pressure management, air-intake routes, maintenance schedules, staff practices and responses to system failure all affect performance. Without clear verification methods across these control points, a high-specification system may still fail to deliver the expected protection. The value of the conference is the opportunity to examine performance limits, operating conditions and the questions that should be answered before investing.

On October 23, 2026, the program will continue with sessions on measuring and improving biosecurity and preventing PED transmission. On October 24, discussions will extend to risks that are often underestimated: feed supply chains, environmental contamination around mortality-management facilities, wildlife contact, and methods for achieving measurable biosecurity improvements. Following these topics across three days allows delegates evaluate how individual controls work as part of a complete biosecurity system.

3. Use the conference to review your own biosecurity system

Before travelling to Zhengzhou, identify one pathogen-entry route that presents a material risk to your operation. Map the movement of people, pigs, vehicles, air, feed and waste along that route. At the conference, compare each stage with the research evidence and operating experience discussed in the sessions. Ask whether the risk assumption is supported, whether the control point is monitored, and who responds when performance drifts. The practical outcome should be a clear change in priority, monitoring or execution that fits your production system.

The 15th Leman China Swine Conference will take place in Zhengzhou, China, from October 22 to 24, 2026. Join researchers, veterinarians and production managers to identify where biosecurity systems fail in practice and determine which controls should be improved first in your operation.
