Championing Veterinary Compliance: HallMark's 2023 Success in ASF Biosecurity
2023: A Milestone Year for HallMark in Biosecurity and Veterinary Compliance
Celebrating a year of remarkable achievements, HallMark Veterinary & Compliance Services proudly highlights its critical role in enhancing biosecurity measures in 2023.
Collaborating closely with Dover Portal Health Authorities, our team has been pivotal in the implementation of African Swine Fever (ASF) biosecurity checks, a key health initiative.
Since July 2022, appointed by Dover District Council, our dedicated Portal Official Veterinarians have provided indispensable services seven days a week, ensuring the stringent veterinary checks for products of animal origin at border control posts.
Our wide-ranging services, such as dispensing expert advice and guidance, conducting ongoing training for Dover Port Health Authority staff, and maintaining comprehensive procedures for checks, demonstrate our unwavering commitment to veterinary compliance and public health protection. This year's success reflects our dedication to maintaining high standards in veterinary services.
