U.S. plans National Swine Health Strategy

The National Pork Board (NPB) and key industry partners such as the National Pork Producers Council (NPPC) are working to develop a comprehensive National Swine Health Strategy. This producer-driven effort is designed to protect and improve the health of the U.S. swine herd.

Pork producers are encouraged to participate in this collaborative industry effort to shape the future of swine health by completing this short online survey before September 1, 2025.

By gathering extensive input from producers across all types of operations – independent producers, integrated producer-packers show pig producers, niche and specialty producers, and contract growers, grassroots voices are heard.

Swine veterinarians, nutritionists, allied industry members, swine educators and outreach professionals are also being surveyed to gain a comprehensive understanding of current and future swine health challenges and how the industry can best provide support.
