Driving the Bus • Canadian Swine Identification and Traceability
Posted in: Economics, Pork Insight Articles by admin on July 12, 2017
In the face of a disease outbreak, the Canadian Swine industry, in conjunction with government and other vested-interest parties, must be able to trace live animal movements and identify the associated premises, destinations, and transport vectors. Canada must be zoned in a way that allows areas not affected by a disease outbreak to continue to trade. An interim measure proposed is to divide the country into two zones at West Hawk Lake, Manitoba. Further thought must be given to additional zones in Canada. Consequently, the Canadian Pork Council and its affiliated provincial associations, boards and commissions are developing a pragmatic and effective nation-wide identification and traceability system.
