Welcome

The Canadian Swine Health Board (CSHB) is a new organization with a mandate to provide leadership, coordination and support in the management of the health of the Canadian swine herd.  Through an inclusive approach involving all stakeholders, the CSHB will work to develop and implement a long term strategy for control of diseases in the hog industry.  

We believe that by engaging all stakeholders in frank and transparent discussions about animal health matters we will have a stronger industry ready to meet new challenges. The following are the three program areas that will be undertaken as a start to ensuring a healthy and economically viable industry:

·   Biosecurity and best management practices
·   Research on circovirus and emerging diseases
·   Long term disease risk management strategies including surveillance

The goal of this site is to provide useful information about the activities of the CSHB. It will grow as we grow. New information will be posted on a regular basis so check with us often.  We encourage you to use this site not only to receive information but to provide it as well. We welcome your comments.

The CSHB gratefully acknowledges Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada for their support.
