The Secure Pork Supply program is preparing the US pork industry for the next major foreign animal disease outbreak. Michigan state veterinarian James Averill said plans include enhanced biosecurity, surveillance and controlled animal movement.
The three diseases monitored are Foot and Mouth Disease, classical swine fever and African swine fever.
Preparedness plans aim to keep pork production and feed demand running during an outbreak, which would limit disruption to hog supply. The story signals no immediate supply shock, so price impact is minimal for now.
