Raising healthy pigs doesn’t happen by accident and animal health is at the forefront of all hog producer’s minds. Following biosecurity protocols and proper management strategies are a part of everyday life when raising pigs.

Dr. Seth Krantz is a director on the National Pork Board and says that one of the roles of the NPB is to provide tools and strategies that make it easier for producers to raise healthy animals in an efficient and effective way.
One of those tools that has helped with disease traceability is the AgView platform says Krantz.

Krantz says the Certified Swine Sample Collection Program has streamlined and optimized the ability to collect and submit diagnostic samples.

He explains how the National Pork Board assists producers with tools and strategies to fight animal disease.
