African swine fever: devising an ‘exit strategy’ for affected countries

Retrieved on: 
Thursday, March 4, 2021

EFSA has devised surveillance strategies that will help countries affected by African swine fever (ASF) to determine when the virus has stopped circulating among their wild boar populations.

Key Points: 
  • EFSA has devised surveillance strategies that will help countries affected by African swine fever (ASF) to determine when the virus has stopped circulating among their wild boar populations.
  • The scientific opinion recommends an exit strategy comprising two phases: a period of routine surveillance of wild boar (the screening phase) followed by a shorter period of intense surveillance (the confirmation phase).
  • Modelling demonstrated that:

    The opinion gives practical examples of how to apply the exit strategy to both large and small affected areas.

  • It also makes recommendations on the minimum monitoring periods needed to make the strategy effective.

Surging Feed Prices Will Challenge the U.S. Animal Protein Sector’s Recovery

Retrieved on: 
Thursday, December 10, 2020

The higher feed costs come at a challenging time, as meat and poultry industry margins have been pressured by weak prices in 2020 due to COVID-19.

Key Points: 
  • The higher feed costs come at a challenging time, as meat and poultry industry margins have been pressured by weak prices in 2020 due to COVID-19.
  • Much of the increase in feed prices is being driven by Chinese demand for grain as it rebuilds its hog herd and overall animal protein supply after African Swine Fever (ASF) ravaged its herd the last couple of years.
  • The shortage of animal protein in China has drawn massive trade flows towards the worlds most populous country.
  • The impact of feed costs varies by species for several reasons, such as life cycle, feed ration, and components of other feed costs.
