African swine fever: Risk prevention and mitigation, a collective effort at the feed mills

Maintaining strong biosecurity practices in feed mills is essential to keeping Canada free of African Swine Fever (ASF), a serious and highly contagious viral disease that threatens swine health and the entire pork industry.

This video, developed by AQINAC with support from ANAC, highlights the crucial role each individual play in preventing the introduction and spread of ASF. This video covers:

• What is African Swine Fever?
• Reducing the risk of ASF introduction into Canada
• Preventing the spread of ASF in the event of an outbreak in Canada
• What will happen if ASF in detected in Canada?

This video is designed to complement your existing biosecurity plan and training efforts and serves as a reminder of the shared responsibility we all have in protecting Canadian swine health!

National Biosecurity Guide for the Livestock and Poultry Feed Sector

This national biosecurity guide represents best practices specific to the feed industry which can be used both within a company and in conjunction with suppliers and customers to limit the introduction and spread of animal diseases, pests and pathogens. The National Biosecurity Guide for the Livestock and Poultry Sector was developed by ANAC in collaboration with an advisory committee representing a broad range of feed industry stakeholders.
