About this simulation

A 90-minute, 4-round basic Express simulation for Spanish vocational training (Formacion Profesional), module 1281 Bioseguridad (Tecnico Superior en Ganaderia y Asistencia en Sanidad Animal, Real Decreto 1585/2012).

The learner is the newly qualified biosecurity lead of a fictional farrow-to-finish pig farm in the province of Huesca, over the four quarters of a year in which African swine fever reaches the wild boar of the comarca.

Eight protocol decisions over four rounds: the vehicles and the people who come in, the wild boar, the straw and the food, the quarantine of new gilts, a suspected disease in one barn, the cleaning between batches, the dead pigs and the review of the biosecurity plan.

Scored on production kept safe, biosecurity cost a week, protocol lapses and risk contacts; three tempting choices come back later, and three critical errors (catering waste fed to the pigs, pigs loaded before the vet sees a suspected disease, the dead pigs buried on the farm) cap the round. Lesson: what comes into the farm decides whether the outbreak comes out. Spanish primary, English parity.

All companies, farms, suppliers and people are fictional.
