  2. Where are we now?Current affairs in your industry • Currently unprecedented profitability • Challenges Don’t Change But The Bar Gets Higher • Animal Care – Stalls vs Pen Gestation • Food Safety – Certified free programs • Antimicrobial Resistance – constrains treatment tools • Foreign Animal Disease – ASF, CSF, FMD etc • Emerging Diseases eg PEDV • Trade - MCOOL • Opportunities for vets, producers • Be more fleet of foot in recognizing and controlling diseases • Porcine Circovirus was a huge failure • PEDV has been much more of a success story in Canada

  3. Where are we going? • PEDV is forcing a number of key stakeholders to work in a more coordinated way on health management. • We are much better at this than in the past. • Still much work to do in communication and developing trust between stakeholders • Avoiding “Turf protection” can be a problem.

  4. What will help implement the OAHN in your industry? • Continue to expand upon the Raizo model • Support the Veterinary Network of Practitioners and Specialists • Develop a simple electronic methodology for reporting significant swine health events. • Eg Exceptionally high mortality – High Path PRRS • Eg Exceptionally severe disease – Porcine Circovirus • Eg. Zoonotic interaction – Influenza A • Improved communication eg Ontario Swine Health Plan • Broader communication of health opportunities • Eg. Porcine Circovirus vaccine management • Cold chain management, Dosage, Administration
