Foreign Animal Disease Trainging

In the event of an African Swine Fever (ASF), Foot and Mouth
Disease (FMD), or Classical Swine Fever (CSF) outbreak in
the United States, state and federal regulatory officials will
restrict animal movement to slow or stop the spread of these
foreign animal diseases (FADs). If your animals are located in
a disease control area, you will need to meet certain criteria
(for example: movement records and biosecurity measures
in place) in order to request a permit to move your animals.
Guidance for requesting movement permits can be found in
the Secure Pork Supply (SPS) Plan.

Iowa State University Swine Extension wants to help producers
understand what the state and federal response might include
and how the resources in the SPS Plan can help producers
prepare for a foreign animal disease outbreak. If we can help
individual producers prepare, the industry as a whole is more
prepared.

FAD Prep 101 (2 hours; in person or webinar)
Describes what to expect during a foreign animal disease
outbreak and the resources available in the SPS Plan to help
producers prepare. Topics include:
• National movement standstill
• Outbreak epidemiological investigation
• Quarantine and control areas
• Mass depopulation and disposal options
• How does Secure Pork Supply addresses business continuity during an FAD outbreak

FAD Prep 201 (3 hours; FAD Prep 101 is a prerequisite)
Explains the resources in the SPS Plan and how to apply it to your
individual farm. Topics include:
• Ensuring you have a valid premises ID number
• Keeping accurate movement records of animals, people,
equipment
• Writing your enhanced biosecurity plan and creating a site map
• Training caretakers in enhanced biosecurity
• Monitoring for a foreign animal disease on your farm
(ASF, FMD, CSF) and knowing who to call
