The objective of this study was to examine the effect of HACCP implementation on the medicine use, antibiotic utilization in each feeding stage and productivity of large scale swine farms (over 5,000 pigs) in Korea. Data were collected from ten swine farms before and after implementation of a HACCP system. Total number of piglets, number of initial weaning piglets, number of weaning piglets, survival rate of piglets, date of weaning piglets, number of piglets per sow per year and price for medicine used per month on HACCP implemented swine farms had a tendency to increase without any significant difference. However, parturition rate, market pig per sow per year, number of antibiotic used and farm number of feeds containing antibiotics at fattening stage added at the swine farm were significantly increased after HACCP implementation (p<0.05). 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 have many effects including reduction of medical expenses and improvement of productivity of the pig farms.
