DES MOINES, IOWA (RFD NEWS) — The health of the U.S. swine herd remains critical to every pork producer’s livelihood, as the industry aligns priorities and resources to better address ongoing health challenges through the producer-driven National Swine Health Strategy.
Meredith Petersen with the National Pork Board joined us on Monday’s Market Day Report to provide an update on the effort and its goals.
In her interview with RFD News, Petersen discussed the strategy developed by the Pork Board and the ultimate goal of strengthening swine health across the industry. She also explained what went into creating the strategy, noting the collaborative, industry-wide approach behind the effort.
Finally, Petersen addressed potential barriers or challenges that could arise as the strategy is implemented, as well as how it is expected to benefit the pork industry moving forward.
