US - Patrick Webb believes the U.S. pork industry is well prepared for implementation of the National Animal Identification System.Webb, director of swine health programs for the National Pork Board in Des Moines, says two groups have met to develop standards for pork producers.
He says the first group, the Pork Industry Identification Working Group, worked to develop program standards for swine. The group has been meeting for nearly two years.
