The National Pork Board (NPB) has developed a checklist to help producers prepare for a foreign animal disease (FAD) outbreak in the following areas:
- Finance
- Traceability and Surveillance
- On-site Preparedness
- Emergency Depopulation and Disposal
In addition, NPB continues to collaborate with industry partners to protect the U.S. from an FAD and help producers prepare for an outbreak. Those resources include:
- 5 Ways to Protect Pigs and the Pork Industry from African Swine Fever
- Producers Face New ASF Threat Close to Home
- NPB, Customs and Border Protection Collaborate to Keep ASF Out of the U.S.
- Create an AgView Account to Prepare for an FAD Outbreak
- Research Prioritizes African Swine Fever Prevention and Preparedness
