The Economic Impact of ASF on Swine Feed Production

In this episode, Dr. Francisco Domingues unpacks the wide-reaching impact of African Swine Fever (ASF) on the global pork industry. He discusses not only the direct economic losses but also the ripple effects, from market disruptions to trade restrictions, that often go overlooked. Dr. Domingues highlights the role of feed in ASF biosecurity, sharing what science tells us about virus survival in ingredients and finished feed. Listeners will gain practical insights into steps feed mills and producers can take to reduce risk, and how vets, nutritionists, and feed suppliers can collaborate to build stronger, more comprehensive feed biosecurity plans.
