As part of the joint project of the Association of Ukrainian Pig Breeders (AUPB) and the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) "Animal Health in Ukraine", microbiological monitoring of bacterial pathogens in pigs was conducted for the first time to determine antibiotic susceptibility using the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) method, taking into account the clinical picture. 

In times of war, business is supported by the project "Animal Health in Ukraine", which is being implemented by the  with the support of the Department of Agriculture (USDA).

The Association Ukrainian Pig Breeders has long been providing technical support to enterprises in establishing biosafety, in particular within the framework of the project "Animal Health Ukraine" in cooperation with the US Department of Agriculture (USDA).

Within the framework of the joint project of the Association of Ukrainian Pig Breeders (AUPB) and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) "Animal Health in Ukraine", microbiological monitoring of bacterial pathogens of pigs was carried out for the first time to determine antibiotic sensitivity using the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) method, taking into account the clinical picture. The company-member of the Association of Ukrainian Pig Breeders , AV LLC "Agrocenter K", has already received the results of the research implemented within the second phase of the project.

Within the framework of the joint project of the Association of Ukrainian Pig Breeders and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) "Animal Health in Ukraine", microbiological monitoring of bacterial pathogens in pigs with determination of antibiotic sensitivity using the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) method will be conducted for the first time, taking into account the clinical picture.

As part of the Animal Health in Ukraine Project , the Association of Ukrainian Pig Breeders with the support of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), has compiled a list of 10 companies that will receive advisory assistance in improving biosecurity in 2024.

According to preliminary data, the pig population in December 2023 was 9769.7 thousand, an increase of 1.5% compared to the same period last year.
