Resource Reminder: Raising Pigs without Antibiotics

January 26, 2021 — AASV Staff

Do you know someone considering raising pigs without antibiotics? Review this self-assessment tool containing a series of questions producers are encouraged to consider with their entire management team, including their herd veterinarian, when discussing a potential shift to Raised Without Antibiotics production. This document, prepared by AASV and the National Pork Board in 2018, is meant to act as a guide and foster conversation around this topic. Producers are encouraged to consider additional questions that may be relevant to their system when reviewing this tool.

AASV also has a position statement regarding raising pigs without antibiotics. View this position statement, approved by the AASV Board of Directors in 2016 and reaffirmed in 2019, here.
