On February 19, 2021, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology issued a Master Question List (MQL) for African Swine Fever (ASF) Virus. This new document provides important information regarding the virus, as well as new studies on viral transmission and illness.

What Does This Mean for Animal Food Producers?

It’s important for feed and pet food producers to be aware of the risks associated with their ingredients and products, especially if the end product may end up at a swine farm. Be aware of where your ingredients are sourced from and the final destination of your products. In situations where pet food is diverted to swine farms, be sure any risks associated with the ingredients or food are managed first.
