The Secure Pork Supply (SPS) Plan helps pork producers and the industry get ready for a quick recovery and business continuity in case of a foreign animal disease outbreak.

If foot and mouth disease, classical swine fever, or African swine fever is found in U.S. livestock, swift regulatory actions will restrict animal movements to curb the spread of these very contagious animal diseases. Moving animals will require a movement permit.

The SPS Plan guides pork producers to prepare in advance and be ready to request a movement permit when that happens.

Start your SPS Plan today to prioritize peace of mind knowing you’re ready for anything.

Thanks to the pork producers who supported the design of this plan, the U.S. Swine Health Improvement Plan (U.S. SHIP) leverages existing programs to certify the health of the pork industry across the country.

In simple terms, U.S. SHIP sets up a country-wide set of rules and a certification process that all states recognize. This is important to keep trade moving in the U.S. and resume international trade in the event of a foreign animal disease outbreak.

The goal is to prevent the spread of disease, like African swine fever or classical swine fever, and prove that sites are free from disease.

Get your sites U.S. SHIP certified to help your business run smoothly even in the face of disease outbreaks.

AgView is a tool that enables swift and efficient responses to potential foreign animal disease outbreaks. It allows producers of all sizes and types to to securely share location and pig movement data with state animal health officials to rapidly contain disease threats and determine where the disease is or is not present.

AgView promotes business continuity for America’s pig farmers by uniquely making disease traceback and pig movement data available to the USDA and state animal health officials on day one of a foreign animal disease.
