In Part 1 of this episode of The Swine Health Blackbelt Podcast, Dr. John Carr shares a global perspective on African swine fever and explains why the disease must be treated as a decades-long challenge. Drawing on experience across Europe, Asia, Australia, and the Americas, Dr. Carr discusses how wild pigs, incomplete farm barriers, animal movement, international trade, and complacency can increase exposure. He also highlights why strong commercial-farm biosecurity remains the most practical defense while the virus continues to spread outside controlled production systems. &#34;African swine fever must be treated as a long-term global challenge, because complacency can leave even currently negative regions exposed.&#34; 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁: Dr. John Carr is a veterinarian with extensive international experience supporting pig producers across Europe, Asia, Australia, and the Americas.

In this episode of The Swine Health Blackbelt Podcast, Dr. Erin Kettelkamp, consulting swine veterinarian with Swine Vet Center, explains how producers can evaluate biosecurity investments through disease cost, break rates, and return on investment. She discusses filtration projects, disease impact and prevention, regional risk, and how veterinarians can communicate numbers in a way that supports better decisions. Listen now on all major platforms!

&#34;Biosecurity return depends on connecting disease reduction, break-rate history, and realistic cost assumptions before the investment is made.&#34;
