African swine fever (ASF) has been detected on a large farm in western Poland, the first time the virus has been found in domestic pigs in the region.

The NPA has welcomed the extraordinary announcement by the Chancellor that the Government will cover 80% of the wages of staff unable to work due to coronavirus.

The Environment Agency has confirmed that permitted pig producers can apply for a CSS grant for fixed and floating covers for a slurry store.

An important update has been posted in the Members Area on an issue that the NPA is currently working on. 

The NPA has published two new documents in the Members Area providing guidance and key updates on the coronavirus outbreak.

Like every business across the country and many of you, NPA staff are affected by the current COVID-19 situation. So please bear with us! 

Farming has been added to the critical workers list, following lobbying from the NPA, NFU and other organisations. 

The NPA is in discussions with the NFU, other industry bodies and Government about trying to get farmers, farm workers and vets onto a list of ‘key workers’. 

We are, unfortunately, having to cancel our Spring Regional meetings, which were due to begin at the end of this month.
