ZNCP

The objective of the UK Zoonoses National Control Programme (ZNCP) is the reduction of risk to consumers from salmonella and other zoonosis in pig meat products. In particular, ZNCP is focusing on increasing understanding of salmonella risk and control throughout the pork chain.

  • Changes to the ZNCP from July 2012 were designed to make the programme more effective on farm and help investigate the links between primary production and public health.
  • Clearer information on salmonella risk and control will help ensure future legislation is effective and practical.

  Online Farm Tool

The ZNCP online Farm Tool is a risk assessment tool to help identify the highest risk areas and most effective salmonella control methods for each producer’s unit. It is accessed via the BPEX Pig Hub.  

  • The farmer or veterinarian can use the outcomes of the risk assessment to create a meaningful on-farm salmonella control plan, which is a requirement of Red Tractor farm assurance.
  • This programme has been designed to ensure that all stages of the supply chain are taking effective action to stop the spread of salmonella, re-focusing resources away from routine salmonella sampling.
