The Avengers of the swine industry 🦸

🇺🇲 Nope, no Cap. America or Iron Man here – but the next best thing! The National Association of State Departments of Agriculture (NASDA), the USDA, the National Pork Board (NPB) and the National Pork Producers Council (NPPC) have formed a new partnership to enhance coordination and preparedness with the goal of protecting the US from African Swine Fever (ASF) and preventing its introduction in the country.

🛡️The teamwork will enable a more effective harmonization of federal and state response plans, thus allowing producers and the industry to prevent, plan and recover from outbreaks – the only way to stop ASF is through proper preparation and mitigation efforts.

     • Also, if this sets an example for other livestock sectors along the way, the better! Get all the details here.
