The aim of this study was to examine the effect of HACCP system implementation on the budget for medicine use, antibiotic utilization, and productivity of swine farms in Korea. Data were collected form thirty swine farms before and after implementation of HACCP system. Parturition rate, total number of piglets, number of initial weaning piglets, number of weaning piglets, survival rate of piglets after weaning, date of weaning piglets, piglet per sow per year, and market piglet per sow per year tended to be higher after HACCP system implementation. In contrast, price for medicine used per month, number of antibiotic used, the farm number of feeds containing antibiotics in each, growing stages added at the feed company, and the farm number of feeds containing antibiotics in each growing stages added at the swine farm were lower after HACCP system implementation. Due to increase in the feed cost recently, production cost for shipment in HACCP system implemented swine farms had increased in this study.
In conclusion, our results indicated that the implementation of HACCP system might be effective in reducing medical expenses and improving the productivity.
