PEDv: Assessing Biosecurity in the Swine Feed Supply Chain

Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus: Assessing Biosecurity in the Swine Feed Supply Chain Instructors: Dr. Peter Davies, Dr. Tim Snider, Dr. Montserrat Torremorell Time commitment: 3-4 hours per week Course description: Did feed ingredients, imported from other countries, play a role in the transboundary spread of the virus into the United States? Are feed ingredients of porcine origin playing a role in its domestic spread? How should the risk of contamination during the manufacture and distribution phases of the swine feed supply chain be addressed? Practicing swine veterinarians, researchers, and other industry stakeholders are focusing their attention on questions like these to insure that pork producers they serve are able to effectively manage the biosecurity risks they face. The swine feed supply chain has been an area of intense interest and the focus of research, conferences, and even the mass media. The Swine Group at the University of Minnesota’s College of Veterinary Medicine understands that swine veterinarians are continually striving to stay abreast of the most current information related to this devastating disease. Course Objectives: Develop a better understanding of the complete feed supply chain and the response of the feed industry to the PEDV crisis Review the role of diagnostics in the surveillance of the swine feed supply chain Develop the tools to systematically evaluate feed and feed ingredient biosecurity.   Information on CE credits   Coming Soon Dates: October 6 - 19, 2014 Webinar times: Tuesday October 7, 2014 6:30 am Central Time                            Tuesday October 14, 2014 6:30 am Central Time Live Conference Call Discussion: Thursday October 9, 2014 6:30 am CT (Webinars and conference call will be recorded and posted on the course site)   Cost $150.00
