Updated biosecurity protocols for 2026
Maintaining SPF status requires continuous vigilance and protocol refinement. This year, we've upgraded pathogen screening procedures across all nucleus and multiplication facilities to improve detection sensitivity and reduce turnaround time.
Key updates include monthly PCR surveillance for 12 priority pathogens, enhanced water treatment systems, and stricter quarantine protocols for incoming broodstock. All staff undergo annual biosecurity recertification, and facility audits now occur quarterly instead of annually.
These changes align with OIE guidelines and regional regulatory requirements. They also provide additional assurance to farm partners that our SPF claims are backed by rigorous, transparent testing.
We've seen zero pathogen detections in the past 18 months across our network, and we're committed to maintaining that track record through systematic monitoring and continuous improvement.
