In response to the threat of African Swine Fever, the Government of Saskatchewan and the Saskatchewan Pork Development Board have committed one million dollars to swine disease mitigation, including the addition of a dedicated cull line into the North 49 sow processing facility being built in Moose Jaw by Donald’s Fine Foods.
Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister David Marit says, in the event African Swine Fever does get into the North American continent, we have no idea how the markets will react.
“We’ve been having discussions with the federal government on African Swine Fever and the impact it would have on the hog industry right across the country”
