Video: Secure Your Pig Herd with AgView | Streamline Disease Defense with Traceability

Join Jill Brokaw, a third-generation pig farmer and staff member of the National Pork Board, as she dives into a resource developed by the National Pork Board, paid for with Pork Checkoff funds. AgView is a pivotal tool, enabling swift and efficient responses to potential foreign animal disease outbreaks by allowing producers to securely share location and pig movement data with State Animal Health Officials to rapidly contain the disease threat and determine where the disease is or is not present.

Why Should Pork Producers Care? AgView standardizes and streamlines how America's pig farmers communicate information to animal health officials that supports business continuity in an outbreak. It is an entirely voluntary tool where you continue to own and control your data.

Getting Started with AgView: Getting started is incredibly easy. You can access the platform on any device. Producers can upload data directly to their AgView Account or work with the National Pork Board to connect the platform using an application programming interface or API.

Takeaway: AgView was built to be the path to protection that helps producers and officials respond to a foreign animal disease emergency the minute a threat arises, providing the critical information needed to manage a foreign disease crisis.
