The mission of the Swine Health Information Center is to protect and enhance the health of the United States swine herd through coordinated global disease monitoring, targeted research investments that minimize the impact of future disease threats, and analysis of swine health data.

Disease Monitoring Reports

SHIC conceptualized and funded two systems for near real-time domestic and global swine disease monitoring. Information made available by these systems will enable better, faster, and more effective response to endemic or foreign infectious diseases.

Rapid Response Corp Program

Designed for epidemiological investigations of transboundary or newly emerging swine disease, the Rapid Response Corp Program is carried out by a team of specifically-trained industry experts to analyze the patterns, causes, and effects of health and disease conditions in affected herds.

Research

SHIC supports swine industry research related to its mission and reports all research results.

Emerging Disease Resource and Information

SHIC offers valuable programs and provides relevant information on emerging diseases including the Rapid Response Program, Diagnostic Fee Assistance, PCR Assay Catalog, CNS Syndrome, Sow Market , and Seneca Valley Virus information, Swine Disease Matrix, Swine Disease Fact Sheets, and Communication Plan for New or Emerging Disease incidence.

Fact Sheets

Thirty-four fact sheets on top swine diseases of concern are now available. The fact sheets cover the information that a veterinarian and producer need to know right away in the face of an outbreak.

Diagnostic Assistance

SHIC will support diagnostic fees for emerging disease discovery in approved cases.
