Preparing Producers. Protecting Pork.
In the event of a Foreign Animal Disease outbreak, SecureReady™ is designed to assist the industry in getting the movement of livestock flowing.
SecureReady is the first-of-its-kind program that leverages all aspects of the MetaFarms Ag Platform such as PremiseIDs, real-time inventory, movements and digital bio-security audits to facilitate and fast-track producers' preparedness for a disease outbreak. This unique program allosw for collaboration with the National Pork Board's Secure Pork Supply (SPS) plan as well as with state veterinarians.

Quick access to complete data is vital to the ability
to move pigs. The National Pork Board is developing an SPS plan to enhance communication and coordination, accelerate a successful FAD response and support continuity of operations for pork producers. This is a collaborative effort between National Pork Producers Council, National Pork Board, American Association of Swine Veterinarians, states and USDA/APHIS. The SPS is a business continuity plan producers are able to enroll prior to an outbreak to allow them to be back in business faster than those who are not prepared. The goal of the SPS plan is to develop procedures that pork producers, processors, and federal and state officials all agree are feasible to allow for safe movement of animals from farms in an FAD control area to harvest channels or other production sites, as long as they have no evidence of the disease. |
Records at the ready to keep pigs moving.
SecureReady enables producers to audit, centralize, and consolidate data and records needed in the event of a disease outbreak. The program, backed by the MetaFarms team, brings together the required information needed for the SPS plan and ties together all the aspects of the dynamic MetaFarms Ag Platform.
This provides a “package” of proof for producers to support animal health officials in containing and eradicating a foreign animal disease and also focus on continuity of business. MetaFarms can help producers prepare and provide the data needed to keep pigs moving.

How it works
MetaFarms makes it easy
MetaFarms is committed to the pork industry and has partnered with producers, nutritionists and veterinarians to develop its industry-leading information platform containing an estimated 85% of the information needed for SPS plan. Approximately, 30% of U.S. market pigs are tracked through MetaFarms equating to approximately 30k+ movements per week.
Maintaining accurate production records across your system with PremiseIDs, animal inventory, movements and bio security audits, through a platform like MetaFarms, will be paramount in the event an FAD outbreak occurs.
