U.S. pork producers have approved a resolution to enhance the country’s live swine traceability system during the 2024 National Pork Industry Forum hosted by the National Pork Producers Council.
“Traceability is a priority for the industry and has been for decades," said Lori Stevermer, incoming NPPC president and Minnesota pork producer. "These standards will improve our ability to control the spread of a foreign animal disease and lessen the economic impact of an outbreak should one occur."
