CDC's National Surveillance System for Healthy Pigs

The CDC's National Surveillance System for Healthy Pigs monitors pig health across the country to detect and track diseases and health issues in swine populations. This system gathers data from farms and labs to identify trends, outbreaks, and potential risks to both animal and human health. By analyzing this information, authorities can implement timely interventions, promote best practices in pig farming, and ensure food safety. Ultimately, it helps maintain healthy pig herds, supports economic stability in the pork industry, and protects public health by preventing the spread of livestock diseases.
