Scientific justification
According to Dr Peter Evans, health officer at Sappo, the reason for the compartments is to facilitate good farming practice and, most importantly, to be able to justify in a scientific manner that South Africa was free of disease and proactive in keeping the country free of disease.
Expectations are that South Africa will be declared PRRS free status by the end of March.
