Legislation introduced to stop garbage-feeding swine
this tune because of the
threat of African Swine
Fever entering the U.S.
ASF is present m the
Dominican Republic and
Haiti and recently reoc
curred m Cuba. While Cuban
officials have announced it
has been eradicated and
there is an active
eradication program m the
Dominican Republic, the
disease remains unchecked
and 'symbolized for iden
tification. Each soil unit or
group is evaluated by 16
characteristics. The more
important characteristics
are depth, soil drainage
environment, geological
source of soil material,
available moisture, .planting
rooting zones, and dominant
crop production.

in Haiti. The large number of
refugees coming from Haiti
to Florida is cause for
special concern, C. Donald
Van Houweling, NPPC
Director of Government
Affairs.
ASF is spread through
scraps of meat from infected
or carrier swine that get mto
garbage which is later fed to
swine. Therefore, it is
essential that garbage be
heated to a temperature high
enough to kill the infecting
organisms, smce there is no
known cure or vaccine for
the disease.
“While this legislation will
not prohibit the feeding of
garbage, as NPPC would
have preferred, it is im
portant for the U.S.
government to be able to
support the states m the
regulation of garbage
feeding,” Van Houwelmg
said. Some states have laws
which prohibit feeding
garbage to swine, he ex
plained.
“The bills do not preempt
those state laws which
prohibit garbage feeding,
but provide for the state and
federal governments to
cooperate in the en
forcement of laws and
regulations on ASF,” he

If ASF did enter the U.S.,
the cost of eliminating the
disease, even from a small
area, is estimated at $7.3
million. If the disease
became widespread and took
ten years to eradicate, total
cost could be $5 billion,
