Swine Doc Pod With Carthage, Episode 2

Brought to you by Swineweb.com Dr. Clayton Johnson & Dr. Attila Farkas from Carthage Veterinary   Service, LTD discuss recent developments with African Swine Fever (ASF)   testing programs here in the United States.  Dr. Attila explains how  he  was able to leverage his network of swine veterinarians in Romania  to  partner with USDA, National Pork Board & Plum Island Animal  Disease  Center to collect the already approved whole blood samples as  well as  oral fluids from Romanian swine farms undergoing an acute ASF  outbreak.   These samples will be transferred from the Romanian team to  the United  States for testing at Plum Island with the goal of helping  us understand  if oral fluids can be utilized as part of a comprehensive  ASF testing  program here in the United States.  Learn about how these  samples may  have a dramatic impact on ASF control not only in the  United States but  around the world.
