Table 2.

Overview of existing tools for FAD risk reduction and business continuity, together with Partitioning (CA: competent authority).

Zoning Compartmentalization US Secure Pork Supply Partitioning
Key objectives Establish and maintain a disease-free sub-population within a territory, based on geographical limits Establish and maintain a disease-free sub-population within a territory, based on biosecurity measures Encourage outbreak preparedness, and provide option for animal movements in control area of a FAD outbreak Reduce risk of on-farm introduction, maintain separate sub-populations on farm, incentivize early detection and reporting
Scope of business continuity All animals in ASF-free area Animals in ASF-free compartment Participating farms in control area and with no evidence of disease Participating farms experiencing an outbreak
Business continuity benefits Movement of animals/products, national and international trade Movement of animals/products, national and international trade Movement of animals/products, national trade Potential for lesser losses and reduced time of movement control
Role of CA (following program establishment) Movement control and surveillance Verification of compartment: biosecurity, surveillance, contingency plan Verification of requirements: biosecurity, surveillance, movement records) Issue of movement permit during outbreak Verification of requirements: surveillance for rapid detection and disease freedom
Oversight of outbreak response
Who bears most of the cost CA Industry (with CA oversight) CA Industry (with CA oversight)
