African Swine Fever Action Week from the Animal an

African Swine Fever Action Week from the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS - @usdagov) continued yesterday with a fantastic session on the benefits of #biosecurity. With so much great information being shared this week, we highly recommend signing up for the final two sessions taking place today and tomorrow, and viewing all webinar recordings - both of which can be done here: https://loom.ly/m0s20Ew

It all comes down to one thing - investing in a robust biosecurity plan.

Today, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Serv

Today, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) kicked off African Swine Fever Action Week with a webinar focused on the current state of ASF and what could be at stake if ASF reaches the U.S.

Dr. Patrick Webb, Director of Swine Health for the National Pork Board, shared that if the U.S. confirms even a single case of ASF but is able to control the outbreak and swiftly eradicate the disease, the industry still stands to take a $15 Billion loss. If the U.S. isn't able to control an outbreak? That could be a $50 Billion loss, with 140,000 of the 550,000 current jobs in the U.S. pork industry being lost, as well.

For an industry that has shown exponential growth over the last 20 years, that could be devastating.

What are you doing to prevent the spread of ASF in the U.S.? What more could you do?

"Without new technology, feed mills will fall behind other industries, even the rapidly transforming food supply chain."

#Traceability in feed and feed delivery is more important than ever, and according to Feed Strategy, "A huge opportunity exists for...the feed mill data market and...how it fits within the entire food supply ecosystem to unlock value and drive long-term success."

When tracing our #FoodSystems, every step counts. And while not all parts of the #SupplyChain have predictable data, feed mills are lucky and can contribute so much more to our understanding of the #ValueChain if they start tracking and sharing that data. "Feed mills generate a tremendous amount of data compared with the rest of the supply chain, and unlike on farms, feed mills have a relatively controlled environment."

There's a lot of talk about traceability these day

There's a lot of talk about traceability these days. While many countries have a government-driven traceability system, producers are increasingly bearing that responsibility in the United States. There have been several producer-driven innovations for traceability on the farm, but what about in transport? As we look to the future, traceability beyond the farm is going to be just as important.

This month, we'll be talking about why #traceability matters - let us know what you think! And head to the link in our bio to read more from @meatpoultry on how we all need to make livestock traceability work.
