Preparedness for a foreign animal disease & Modeling the transboundary survival of foreign animal disease pathogens in contaminated feed ingredients -Banff 2017
Posted in: Pork Insight Articles, Production, Uncategorized by admin on May 8, 2017
Dr.Chris Byra of Byra consulting gave a speech about foreign animal disease (FAD). FAD can cost industry billions of dollars as demonstrated by the UK’s outbreak of FMD, Byra used this as a basis for his talk.
Components of FAD preparedness
- Prevention
- Early Detection
- Response to a Positive FAD case
- Critical Areas to focus on when mounting a response
- Producers
- Processors
- Governments
- Recovery to Resume Trade
- Critical Areas to focus on when mounting a response
A study was preformed by Scott Dee and his colleagues of FAD contaminated feeds being transported from China. The focus of the study was to determine if PEDV in imported ingredients would remain viable during a trans-pacific shipment. At the conclusion of the 37 day shipment PEDV was detected in soybean meal, Vit D, Lysine hydrochloride and choline chloride, however PEDV was not detected in any samples treated with one of the 2 chemical mitigants. This study concluded that certain FAD’s are transboundary risk factors.
