Contingency planning for your operation involves making plans in advance for what might happen in the event of a foreign animal disease outbreak.
What can you do to prepare for a movement standstill?
What can you do to prepare for a movement standstill?
Develop a plan for these different scenarios. What if you are unable to:
- Move weaned pigs?
- Have semen delivered?
- Haul manure?
- Have rendering trucks come to your farm?
- Have feed delivered?
- Move nursery pigs to the finisher?
- Ship market hogs?
Control Areas
Control Areas
A Control Area will be drawn around the infected premises to help reduce the spread of the disease. Infected sites will be depopulated. For non-infected sites in Control Areas, movements of animals and animal products will need a permit into a Control Area, out of a Control Area, or within a Control Area. All sites within the Control Area will be monitored closely for the disease.
Movement permits
Movement permits
Some farms will be located inside of a Control Area and have no evidence of having the FAD. Movements to and from these farms will need to have a permit in order to move. Different states could have different requirements, so be sure to check with the State Animal Health Officials for requirements to get a permit especially when moving across state lines.
You need a movement permit if you are moving
· Into a control area
· Out of a control area
· Within a control area
See biosecurity, traceability, and disease monitoring for things that you can do to prepare to request a movement permit.
Depopulation and Disposal
Depopulation and Disposal
If you farm were to be infected with an FAD, it is very likely you would need to depopulate the herd and dispose properly of all the carcasses. How would you do this on your farm? What tools would you need available? Would you have the land available to bury?
