The Pork Checkoff has developed new tools to help pork producers strengthen their foreign animal disease preparedness and biosecurity practices. These resources are designed to be practical, easy to access and relevant to producers and those involved in swine exhibitions.
- Foreign Animal Disease Posters: Available in both English and Spanish, these updated posters are essential for raising disease awareness and prevention across your operation.
- Comprehensive Biosecurity Documents: Offering practical steps for mitigating pathogen spread, these guides cover critical biosecurity measures for both swine producers and exhibition participants. Spanish versions will be available by the end of 2024.
- Practical Disinfectant Tables: Laminated and easy to clean, these tables outline effective disinfectants for controlling pathogens like foot and mouth disease, classical swine fever, and African swine fever. They are available in both English and Spanish.
These resources are available digitally, and printed versions can be ordered through the Pork Store or by calling the NPB Service Center at 800-456-7675. We encourage you to explore these tools and share them with your teams to enhance disease prevention efforts.
