A new year-long study to identify U.S. pork industry gaps in biosecurity defenses against foreign animal diseases, funded by the Pork Checkoff and the Swine Health Information Center, found that no major areas have been overlooked in efforts to prevent the introduction of African swine fever to the U.S.
Dr. Patrick Webb, Acting Chief Veterinarian for NPB, says we must continue to work together to find real-world solutions to diminish the ASF entrance point vulnerabilities and prevent the costly disease from entering the U.S. Creating an AgView account and participating in the Secure Pork Supply plan are actions producers can take today.
