🐖 Biosecurity starts with feed.

Exotic diseases like African swine fever and foot and mouth disease could spread through contaminated pig feed.

Never feed your pig prohibited pig feed (PPF)!

❌ PPF = anything that contains — or has touched — mammalian material, including meat scraps, pies, pizza, deli meats, table waste, used cooking oil.

✅ Safe options: commercial pig feed, fruit, veg, bread, products with no meat contact, and Australian made dairy.

Protect your industry. Know what’s in your feed.
