Russia, which represents about 9 percent of the U.S. pork export market, has restricted imports of pork from some U.S. states and Latin America
Illinois Pork Producers Association Executive Director Jim Kaitschuk said pork producers should always utilize strict biosecurity protocols, regardless of whether a particular virus is going around. Producers should restrict visits to their facilities, practice basic hygiene, and make sure workers who are ill stay away from other workers and the animals, as several viruses, including influenza, can be transmitted between pigs and humans, he said.
