An overview of the United States Swine Health Improvement plan which was designed in response to the threat of African Swine Fever and Classical Swine Fever. US SHIP is an industry, state and federal program modeled after the National Poultry Improvement Plan. US SHIP is a USDA Veterinary Services and National Pork Board sponsored pilot project being pursued with support of state and industry partners. The principal objectives are to develop and implement an African Swine Fever (ASF)-Classical Swine Fever (CSF) Monitored Certification Program modelled after the National Poultry Improvement Plan (NPIP). AgView is a free, opt-in technology solution from the National Pork Board that helps producers of all sizes participate in the US SHIP Pilot and helps States certify compliance. This talk will help you learn how US SHIP fits into the overall response to a foreign animal disease outbreak and the tools that exist to support emergency preparedness in the US pork industry.
