  • The absence of improved standards for tracing the movement of pigs in the U.S. is producing unnecessary risk for producers and the industry.
  • While an estimated 70 percent of producers favor improved traceability, near unanimous adoption is needed to reassure U.S. trade partners and protect producer income in the event of a U.S. foreign animal disease event. The At The Meeting team talks with Rob Brenneman (Brenneman Pork) about what is needed to improve traceability to protect the future of U.S. Pork Exports.
