Introduction
A transboundary disease outbreak in the U.S. would have immediate and long-lasting impacts on livestock and allied industries. Response plans include immediate movement restrictions for animals and their products that pose a risk of disease spread. This market disruption will impact food availability, animal welfare, and the economic viability of livestock producers. Balancing disease control efforts with business continuity is complex.
Materials and Methods
The USDA APHIS, the National Pork Board, and the American Sheep Industry Association contributed funding to university veterinarians to develop the Secure Food Supply Plans for Continuity of Business. National and international standards for disease control were reviewed. Subject matter experts were consulted. Stakeholders were identified from the dairy, swine, beef, and sheep industries, and state and federal regulatory officials to review and improve guidance documents. Workshops, field demonstrations, tabletops and functional exercises were conducted. Frequent stakeholder webinars are held to collect feedback.
Results
The Secure Milk, Pork, Beef, Sheep and Wool Supply Plans were created to provide guidance to producers, packers/processors, regulatory officials and veterinarians for preparedness and response actions to promote business continuity during a U.S. transboundary animal disease outbreak. Each Plan has industry-specific materials to support contingency planning for movement restrictions, enhance biosecurity, and conduct surveillance. Pro-active risk assessments for milk and pork were conducted. Foundations for movement permitting were created for livestock premises with no evidence of infection. All resources are available online at: www.securefoodsupply.org.
Discussion
The negative animal health, welfare, and economic repercussions will be significant if a transboundary disease is introduced to the U.S. The Secure Food Supply Plans for Business Continuity provide a framework for the livestock industries, state and federal officials to build resiliency now. It is up to stakeholders to put effort into preparedness planning and implementation to increase their likelihood of maintaining business continuity.
