The Secure Pork Supply Plan is being reviewed and updated in 2025
The SPS plan will be reviewed and revised by an advisory group of producers, veterinarians, state, federal, and industry partners. If you have feedback, please contact us.
SPS Plan for Continuity of Business
The Secure Pork Supply (SPS) plan is a business continuity plan for farms to increase their foreign animal disease preparedness. If a foreign animal disease such as foot and mouth disease (FMD), classical swine fever (CSF), or African swine fever (ASF) is found in United States livestock, Regulatory Officials will limit the movement of animals and animal products to try and control the spread of these animal diseases.
The SPS plan provides pork producers opportunities to voluntarily prepare before an outbreak. Completing the SPS plan will better position pork premises with healthy animals to:
- Limit exposure to their herd through enhanced biosecurity,
- Move animals to processing or another premises under a movement permit issued by Regulatory Officials, and
- Maintain business continuity for the entire swine industry during an FMD, CSF, or ASF outbreak.
- NOTE: FMD, CSF, and ASF are not public health or food safety concerns. Meat will still be safe to eat.

Components of the SPS plan
Enhanced Biosecurity
Create a site-specific enhanced biosecurity plan and implement as many measures as possible before an outbreak.
Traceability
Ensure that all sites have an accurate National Premises Identification Number (PIN) and track movements on and off the premises. Use AgView to securely store and share movement information.
Disease Monitoring
Learn the clinical signs of FMD, CSF, and ASF and monitor pigs daily. Talk to your veterinarian about becoming a Certified Swine Sample Collector.
Personnel Training
Training is key to ensure that essential personnel know what is expected of them and how to contribute to protecting the herd.
