The swine industry is a significant contributor to the economic wellbeing of the United States. In addition to supporting over 573,000, the U.S. pork industry generates billions of dollars of revenue through commerce at the local, state, national and global levels.  Recent events across the barnyard, such as the spread of H5N1 in dairy cattle and JEV outbreaks in Australia, drive home the need to fortify relationships in a transdisciplinary One Health way to effectively protect human, animal and environmental health. With this goal in mind, NPB has created programs and materials to provide interested individuals and non-industry partners with basic information on the U.S. swine industry. This pork industry overview session will provide the audience with an overview of the terminology, structure and processes commonly employed within the swine industry with an emphasis on swine-specific and zoonotic disease prevention for a veterinary audience. We will also outline the key industry partners and processes that will be implemented during a regulatory disease outbreak that will promote and protect people, pigs, and the planet.
