Canadian hog trace going well

The Chair of the National Hog Identification and Traceability Working Committee reported recently that Canada's swine producers have been highly supportive of efforts create a national ID and traceability system for Canada's livestock industry. Stakeholder consultations considering a proposed national identification and traceability system for Canadian swine has now commenced. National Hog Identification and Traceability Working Committee Chair Dennis McKerracher says, "While traceability will not prevent an animal disease from happening, it will provide a tool to react much quicker and minimize the impact of a foreign animal disease."
