SPECIAL REPORT: What can be done to minimize risk of African swine fever?

African swine fever has been on everyone’s mind for several years now, and more recently with cases of ASF being confirmed in the Dominican Republic and Haiti, it is definitely a topic of conversation for pork producers throughout North America. 

While no cases of ASF have been confirmed in the U.S., it is important for all of us to come together and do what we can to prevent ASF from reaching our shores. In this special Feedstuffs Precision Pork podcast, we explore some tools and programs out there that will allow you to plan and take action. 

Joining us for this discussion are Mark Hullsabus and Dr. Jason Hoocker. Mark is the commercial director of pork for Cargill. Prior to joining Cargill, he was part of the leadership team at TriOak Foods. Jason is a swine veterinarian with AMVC.
