Pork Industry Objective Unaffected
Published Tuesday, February 09, 2010 at 05:01 AM
Also, it does not change the Checkoff's reliance on a voluntary premises identification program as an integral part of swine health initiatives. Dr. Paul Sundberg, vice president of science and technology at the National Pork Board, says - premises identification is the cornerstone of animal health and disease surveillance - and we remain - committed to these critical efforts.
According to USDA data, the U.S. swine industry already has more than 90-percent of its farms identified through premises identification. The Checkoff's swine health committee, and the Committee's Animal ID Working Group, had supported the NAIS and incorporated elements of the program as a requirement in the industry's Pork Quality Assurance Plus® program.
