The US pork industry is on heightened alert as Germany, the EU’s largest pork producer, has recently confirmed six cases of African swine fever in wild boars.

NPPC president and Wisconsin pork producers AV Roth says ag inspectors are the first line of defense in preventing foreign animal diseases from entering the US.
