Pork producers call for swine fever research
diagnosis. He asked that this
effort to control ASF be
concentrated in high risk
areas such as ship ports and
international airports.
“ASF is certainly a
disease that we are very
concerned about. I feel it is
no exaggeration that this
million spent now could save
billions in the future,”
Jordan said The NPPC also
asked for $600,000 in ad
ditional funding for other
research on ASF
In his testimony Jordan
explained the National Pork
Producers Council does not
suggest increasing the
budget to cover research in
these austere times, but
rather that funds be

productive programs
David Meisinger, NPPC’s
Director of Research, said
the estimated return on
investment m swine
research is about 52 percent.
“This is higher than any
other species of livestock
and' is much higher than
most manufacturing firms I
think this just emphasizes
the productive nature of
these programs,” he ex
plained.
Jordan also urged funding
for a comprehensive review
of the need for nitrite in food
processing, the hazards of
eliminating it from food and
the economic impact of
banning it.
