BAF Vietnam Agricultural Joint Stock Company (Stock Code: BAF) has recently been achieved nổ hũ thần tài Global Good Agricultural Practices – Integrated Farm Assurance Standard (GLOBAL G.A.P IFA version 5.2) certification.
Bureau Veritas representatives present nổ hũ thần tài GlobalG.A.P IFA certification to BAF
nổ hũ thần tài certification is awarded by Bureau Veritas (BV), an organization specialized in testing, inspection, and globally recognized certification. In this project, BAF also received advice and support from nổ hũ thần tài International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of nổ hũ thần tài World Bank Group.
Global G.A.P Standards for Pig Farming
Global G.A.P is a global organization to promote sustainable agriculture worldwide. Among them, nổ hũ thần tài Global G.A.P Standards for pig farming version 5.2 have very strict criteria that must be adhered to.
To achieve certification, businesses must meet a minimum of 95% of nổ hũ thần tài secondary requirement principles and comply with 100% of nổ hũ thần tài main requirement principles.
Some important compliance criteria include maintaining identification and traceability of product origin from breeding to feed, ensuring biosecurity (disease control), factors affecting food safety (minimizing antibiotic use, avoiding prohibited substances), minimizing adverse environmental impacts, and meeting social welfare requirements for workers.
Particularly noteworthy are nổ hũ thần tài criteria related to animal welfare to ensure that pigs are cared for in nổ hũ thần tài most comfortable environment (housing conditions, farming environment, humane treatment of animals) to achieve nổ hũ thần tài highest quality meat (among other factors).
nổ hũ thần tài entire BAF pig herd exclusively utilizes a pelletized feed source developed and produced by nổ hũ thần tài company. BAF’s pelletized feed formula eliminates all ingredients with potential risks of disease transmission from animal-derived sources, such as meat and bone meal, blood meal, and fish meal. Instead, it comprises plant-based proteins, supplemented with medicinal herbs and beneficial probiotics for nổ hũ thần tài animals’ digestive system.
nổ hũ thần tài infrastructure, pens, and farm conditions, including nổ hũ thần tài ventilation, temperature control, and lighting systems designed for each type of pig, are transferred from major corporations in Europe and nổ hũ thần tài United States. These systems are automated to minimize nổ hũ thần tài risk of disease transmission.
With a network of 9 farms recognized to meet nổ hũ thần tài Global G.A.P IFA version 5.2 standards, BAF Company has demonstrated nổ hũ thần tài highest commitment from both leadership and all levels within nổ hũ thần tài entire pig farming system. nổ hũ thần tài company affirms its dedication to maintaining nổ hũ thần tài recognized standards while continuously striving to build and implement Global G.A.P pig farming standards for nổ hũ thần tài remaining farms. This aims to achieve nổ hũ thần tài ultimate goal of providing clean and safe meat for consumer health.
Towards Circular Farming, Reducing Emissions
Environmental pollution from livestock activities is becoming increasingly serious. nổ hũ thần tài estimated total waste from farming is 60 million tons annually, with liquid waste alone accounting for 302 million tons and emitting 18.5 million tons of CO2. Among these, pig farming contributes up to 84% of liquid waste. However, waste treatment still needs to be more effective.
This challenging issue compels businesses to align their farming practices with environmental protection if they aim to achieve greenhouse gas emission reduction goals and integrate farming according to international standards.
For BAF, nổ hũ thần tài company has implemented a manure scraping system to alleviate nổ hũ thần tài pressure on wastewater treatment. nổ hũ thần tài collected pig manure is reused as organic microbial fertilizer, benefiting rice fields. This helps reduce methane emissions in pig farming, enhances soil quality, increases crop productivity, and creates a source of clean agricultural products. Consequently, this moves towards a circular economy model with no waste.
nổ hũ thần tài manure composting tower system which installed in BAF’s pig farming operation is designed to convert livestock waste into compost, serving as a high-value fertilizer for rice fields.
nổ hũ thần tài wastewater treatment system meets Class A water quality standards and is reused within nổ hũ thần tài farming system.
Additionally, BAF is at nổ hũ thần tài forefront of using pelletized feed for nổ hũ thần tài entire BAF pig herd and affiliated herds. Plant-based protein in nổ hũ thần tài livestock feed also helps reduce methane emissions, one of nổ hũ thần tài main contributors to nổ hũ thần tài greenhouse effect. Improved digestion in animals leads to a 5-10% reduction in feed consumption per unit of growth, and a significant 80% reduction in foul-smelling waste.
