Pork producers care deeply about the health and well-being of their animals and have a moral obligation to raise them humanely and compassionately. Healthy animals ensure safe food for consumers. NPPC advocates for science-based approaches to swine health and production and opposes efforts to dictate on-farm production practices.
NPPC is actively working with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection, and other partners to prevent and prepare for a potential outbreak of a foreign animal diseases.
NPPC successfully fought to preserve necessary resources to protect the nation’s food supply through foreign animal disease prevention, including: the National Animal Vaccine and Veterinary Countermeasures Bank, National Animal Health Laboratory Network, National Animal Disease Preparedness and Response Program, and National Veterinary Stockpile.
Given the growing threat from foreign animal diseases to the U.S. swine industry, it is imperative that we review pre-harvest traceability. Improving our ability to efficiently and accurately identify and locate diseased animals will help control the spread of disease and reduce export markets impacts.
