Beliefs, Behaviors, and Practices of Farm Biosecurity in the Midwestern U.S. Swine Operations

Today, we are sharing a recent published manuscript from a collaboration between the swine group and the Center for Animal Health and Food Safety at the University of Minnesota. The project focused on biosecurity practices from the Secure Pork Supply plan and the consistency with which they were applied on farms. The full text is available in open access on the journal Animals’ website.
