African swine fever remains major focus in 2024

African swine fever prevention and detection continues to be a focus for the U.S. pork industry.

Dr. Paul Sundberg with the Swine Health Information Center says tremendous progress has been made since ASF was first detected in China several years ago.

“In planning, in coordination, both on the state and federal levels. As well as with industries (and) with markets, with pork producers, the veterinarians, everybody has been working on coordination and planning.”

He tells Brownfield the level of preparedness is unprecedented.
