Saskatchewan project tests technology to improve biosecurity and reduce disease spread

A Saskatchewan pilot project is testing new technologies that will help pork producers improve biosecurity and protect their herds from disease. Farm Health Guardian and Sask Pork are collaborating to trial truck movement recording technologies at over 20 swine farms or businesses in the province. 

“Our goal is to test and assess performance of several technologies on trucks that regularly travel between swine properties,” explains Rob Hannam, CEO of Farm Health Guardian, an animal health and biosecurity management software system. Pork producers participating in the project have access to the Farm Health Guardian smart biosecurity software to view truck movement data for their own farm properties.
