CCA Monitoring COOL Discussions In The US

There continues to be rumblings in the US around bringing back Country of Origin Labeling.
 
While there has been no formal discussions, R-CALF reportedly sent Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack a proposed draft bill to reinstate Mandatory Country of Origin Labeling.
 
During Vilsack's confirmation hearings in January, he referenced revisiting COOL if it could be done without the WTO slapping it down.
 
Canada and Mexico launched a successful WTO challenge of COOL, when it was implemented under the Obama administration, which resulted in the legislation being repealed in December 2015.
 
The CCA's Executive Vice President Dennis Laycraft says they're monitoring the situation closely.

Video: Farm Health Guardian | Digital Biosecurity in Real Time

Disease risk, biosecurity, and real-time monitoring continue to be major topics across the pork industry. In this episode of Swine Web Industry Perspectives, presented by Farm Health Guardian, we discuss how digital biosecurity and real-time data are changing the way producers think about herd protection, people movement, and operational decision-making.

The conversation explores:

disease risk in modern pork production,

the impact of people movement on biosecurity,

the importance of real-time monitoring,

digital biosecurity technology,

and how Farm Health Guardian developed tools designed to support modern swine operations.

As the industry continues focusing on prevention, preparedness, and operational efficiency, connected technologies and actionable data are becoming increasingly important parts of modern herd health management.
