Download SwineCast mp3 podcast episode for pork productionSwineCast 1252 Show Notes:

  • The absence of improved standards for tracing the movement of pigs in the U.S. is producing unnecessary risk for producers and the industry.
  • While an estimated 70 percent of producers favor improved traceability, near unanimous adoption is needed to reassure U.S. trade partners and protect producer income in the event of a U.S. foreign animal disease event. The At The Meeting team talks with Rob Brenneman (Brenneman Pork) about what is needed to improve traceability to protect the future of U.S. Pork Exports.

  • Dr. Dusty Oedekoven (Chief Veterinarian, National Pork Board) toured the European Union and surrounding countries to learn more about how African Swine Fever (ASF) is managed.
  • Key takeaway: The EU has zone standardization language and practices in place for regions with ASF. This standard helps provide bio-containment, bio-exclusion, and supports business continuity for pork operations, with some regions able to ship pork products after zone practices have been implemented during an ASF outbreak.
