Registration still open for Secure Pork Supply Training
If foot and mouth disease, classical swine fever or African swine fever is found in the United States, regulatory officials will limit the movement of animals and animal products to try and control the spread of these very contagious animal diseases.

The  Secure Pork Supply (SPS) Continuity of Business Plan  provides opportunities to voluntarily prepare before an outbreak. This will better position pork premises with animals that have no evidence of infection to:
  • Move animals to processing or another pork production premises under a movement permit issued by Regulatory Officials, and
  • Maintain business continuity for the swine industry, including producers, haulers, and packers during an FMD, CSF or ASF outbreak.

The NC Pork Council is working with the NC Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Iowa State University and the Pork Checkoff to bring two "Train-the-Trainer" workshops to our state to help in the creation of the Secure Pork Supply plans.
