SwineCast 1252, At The Meeting – U.S. Pork Exports Will Evaporate Without Better Traceability – Rob Brenneman

SwineCast 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.
• On ‘At the Meeting’, Honoring Dr. Bob Morrison are Dr. Montserrat Torremorell (College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Minnesota), Dr. Gordon Spronk (Pipestone Veterinary Services), and Dr. Tom Wetzell (Swine Veterinary Consultant), and is a podcast sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health USA, Inc. In each episode, veterinarians and other swine experts join the podcast to discuss the most recent topics in swine health and production.
