The USDA is putting together documentation showing trading partners mitigation efforts if African Swine Fever reaches the U.S.
USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service’s Dr. Rosemary Sifford said if ASF enters the U.S., there would likely be a 72-hour movement standstill for pigs and semen.
“That would give us the opportunity to really evaluate where exactly we have an issue, what exactly the extent of that issue is, so that we could look for signs of disease and get the control measures in place quickly,” she said.
