Before trade of animal products may occur, the importing country needs to be satisfied that their animal health status will be appropriately protected. The Veterinary Services of an exporting country must provide evidence to the Veterinary Services of the importing country that an adequate level of protection is achieved. In order to facilitate such trade and assist the South African industry in attaining these markets, a split system for production of products of animal origin is proposed. The split system incorporates the general principles necessary to facilitate international trade of products of animal origin. This system is based mainly on functional separation of animals with differing health status and management practices by implementing strict biosecurity measures, identification and traceability, feed and veterinary drug use monitoring and control and disease control
