Role of the Danish pig production system in the success of infectious disease control: a review.
Pigs produced by the Danish system have played a dominant role on the international market for many years. A key factor in attaining that position was that the producers recognised the importance of animal health in market regulation and profit generation in due time. This paper reviews the factors that, through a close co-operation between the production and animal health sectors, have contributed to the stable market position of Danish pigs.
