What it does

The African Swine Fever Response Program will include key response initiatives to support the Canadian pork industry with regard to African swine fever.

The objective of the African Swine Fever Industry Preparedness program is to enhance capacity in preventing African Swine Fever from entering into Canada, address identified gaps in industry preparedness, and develop the tools, partnerships, and activities required to ensure the early detection of African Swine Fever and the effective emergency response in case of an outbreak. The program will provide non-repayable contributions to eligible recipients through two components: the Welfare Slaughter and Disposal stream; and the Prevention and Preparedness stream.
