Secure Pork Supply Plan

The size, structure, efficiency and extensive movement inherent in the swine industry will present unprecedented challenges in the event of a foreign animal disease (FAD) outbreak. A Secure Pork Supply (SPS) Plan is being developed to enhance coordination and communication between all parties, speed up a successful FAD response, and support continuity of operations for pork producers. The Plan will include procedures that pork producers, processors, and Federal and State agencies all agree are feasible that would allow for the safe movement of animals from farms in an FAD Control Area to harvest channels or other production sites as long as they have no evidence of infection.

FADs addressed in the SPS Plan include:

• Foot and mouth disease (FMD)
• Classical swine fever (CSF)
• African swine fever (ASF)
• Swine vesicular disease (SVD)
