KSU Posts Feed Ingredient FAQ

September 19, 2018 — 

With the recent occurrences of African Swine Fever Virus (ASFV) and Classical Swine Fever Virus (CSFV) in countries important for U.S. trade, there have been many questions about how to best prevent transmission into U.S. swine herds. While feed and ingredients are not the most likely sources of introduction and transmission, they are a documented vector for disease. Thus, the extension of on-farm biosecurity practices to the feed mill is important. To address questions posed by swine producers, researchers at Kansas State University have posted a series of Frequently Asked Questions about ASFV and CSFV in Feed.
