Reminder: deadlines for PigSAFE | PigCARE (PS|PC) programs
With the implementation deadline extended to January 2024, sites that have not yet joined the PS|PC programs can complete full validations on the CQA program for their 2022 validations. These farms must, however, do a Full PS|PC Validation for their 2023 validation. Sites can join the CPE programs earlier than 2023 by doing a Full CPE validation at the time of their anniversary.
