Producer priorities are shaping a more coordinated swine health research agenda. At the National Swine Health Strategy Research Summit, researchers, funding organizations and industry leaders compared ongoing work, identified research gaps and explored opportunities to focus future investments on the health challenges producers have prioritized.
New enhancements to AgView® support the elimination of PEDV by making it easier to manage and share PEDV Clean status through U.S. SHIP.
The Swine Disease Research task force recently funded new PRRSV and PEDV research projects that support National Swine Health Strategy priorities. These projects aim to close critical knowledge gaps and provide producers with practical information to support disease elimination efforts.
The Swine Health advisory committee is focused on turning strategy into action. To help advance the National Swine Health Strategy, the committee identified five focus areas that will drive action and measurable progress for U.S. pork producers.
Following USDA APHIS confirmation of PRV in Iowa and Texas, the risk remains low and is linked to feral swine exposure. Still, this is a good reminder of why the National Swine Health Strategy matters on every operation.
NPB has been working with key industry partners to develop a comprehensive National Swine Health Strategy that will protect and strengthen the U.S. swine herd. In recent months, the team developed a work plan aligned with the strategy’s priorities, which was approved by the Board of Directors and shared with delegates.
Several improvements were made to the Secure Pork Supply (SPS) Plan, which provides on-farm preparedness before a foreign animal disease (FAD) outbreak.
The 2026 AASV annual meeting brings together veterinarians to discuss real-world challenges producers are facing. The meeting provides a valuable opportunity for NPB to keep a pulse on swine health, ultimately benefiting producers and the industry at large.
