Video: African swine fever – Pork producers urged to ask questions of feed suppliers

As African swine fever continues to spread across China, the National Pork Board, along with the National Pork Producers Council, the American Association of Swine Veterinarians, the Swine Health Information Center and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, are working even more closely together to help keep the United States free of ASF and all other foreign animal diseases (FADs). This includes focusing on the importation of feed ingredients, a key area of potential high risk of disease transport.
Checkoff-funded research shows that viruses do have the potential to travel long distances via feed ingredients, which proves the theoretical ability of a foreign animal disease pathogen to reach U.S. shores.
