The National Pork Producers Council is urging Congress to take action on a trio of health security measures.
NPPC’s Jim Monroe tells Brownfield dog imports are posing a risk to the U.S. livestock industry.
“It’s a relatively unknown issue and increasingly we’re seeing dogs be imported from countries that have African Swine Fever, foot and mouth disease or some other foreign animal disease,” he said.
Monroe said a number of regulators currently monitor such paths for disease entry, but they are mostly focused on human health.
