In light of the new outbreak of African swine fever in China and the ongoing emphasis on foreign animal disease preparedness, the Pork Checkoff has gathered many of its producer-focused resources on its website under the Swine Health tab.

For additional preparation for FADs such as ASF, producers, veterinarians and allied-industry should learn about the Secure Pork Supply Plan by reading more in the U.S. Pork Industry Guide to the Secure Pork Supply Plan.

This guide explains, in great detail, the rationale of the program, which is funded by the USDA and Pork Checkoff.

In order for producers to take advantage of the voluntary program when it becomes fully functional in 2019, they should complete the items outlined in the Checkoff's FAD Preparation Checklist.
