If a foreign animal disease (FAD) were to hit the US pork industry, the impact could be dramatic and widespread — most likely resulting in government-mandated quarantines around the affected areas to stop the disease from spreading.“The quarantine would affect both infected and non-infected animal premises,” said Pam Zaabel, DVM, with the Center for Food Health and Security, Iowa State University whilst talking to Pig Health Today. “The goal of the Secure Pork plan is to ensure that uninfected pork premises caught in the quarantine can continue on with business.”Officially known as the Secure Pork Supply Plan, the initiative has received funding from USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, as well as the National Pork Board. Other industries, such as poultry, beef and dairy have similar plans in the works. In fact, many of those plans work together so that producers and animal-health officials who have to address multiple species will have plans that work in tandem.
假如美国养猪业受到一种国外动物病毒袭击，那么将会产生波及广泛、并影响严重的后果。最可能发生的情况是，为了阻止病毒传播，政府强制要求相关感染区域进行隔离。爱荷华州大学食品健康与安全中心兽医学博士Pam Zaabe在与《今日猪健康》的采访中谈到，隔离不但会影响到受感染的畜牧养殖所，还会波及未受病毒感染的畜牧养殖所。“安全猪肉”计划的目的是，确保被隔离区域的未受感染养猪场仍能进行正常贸易。这项计划被正式命名为安全猪肉供应计划，美国农业部动物与植物健康监督服务中心以及国家猪肉委员会为其提供项目资金。其他行业，诸如家禽、牛肉和奶制品也有类似的计划，正在筹备阶段。实际上，如果许多类似的计划可以同时展开，这对于那些要解决多物种问题的生产商与动物健康官员来说，将会帮助他们做出协调一致的计划。
