Enhancing Emergency Management in Canada’s Livestock & Poultry Industry
The Animal Health Emergency Management (AHEM) project is focussed on industry relevant resources to minimize the impacts of serious livestock diseases now and into the future. Our objective is to strengthen emergency preparedness, response and recovery, through increased industry awareness, capacity, and confidence.

Like our U.S. counterparts, #AfricanSwineFever prevention is a major issue for the Canadian #pork industry, including @InspectionCan & @CanBorder. Working with @AlbertaAg & @AlbertaInvasive, our war on #wildboar will be covered in the Fall 2021 edition of @HogJournal! @RyanKBrook https://twitter.com/USDA_APHIS/status/1422543630716256261
Feral swine can carry diseases like African swine fever. While this disease has never been found in the U.S., there is no treatment or vaccine for it, making surveillance important. Help protect pigs by immediately reporting sick or dead feral swine. https://www.aphis.usda.gov/publications/wildlife_damage/fsc-asf-report-feral-swine.pdf
