• To improve the diagnostic and control of diseases affecting pigs and also having an impact on human health (according to OIE recommendations).
• To organize seminars and workshops with veterinarians, engineers and producers (dissemination and suggestion of strategies).
• To identify opportunities for developing projects of research among members of this network.
