Upfront Emergency Planning Improves On-Farm Response and Reduces Stress

The Saskatchewan Pork Development Board (Sask Pork) is urging producers to take proactive steps in preparing for potential on- farm emergencies — particularly those that could require mass euthanasia and disposal of swine herds.

In collaboration with the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture and the Animal Health Emergency Management (AHEM) project, Sask Pork recently released a comprehensive Mass Euthanasia and Disposal Producer Guide. This resource is designed to assist producers in developing site-specific emergency response plans that ensure humane, safe, and efficient responses in high-stress situations such as disease outbreaks.

According to Karolina Steinerova, Producer Services Manager with Sask Pork, preparedness is key.
