Survey: Oral Fluid Use
This survey is an integral part of AASV’s and the swine industry’s efforts to convince USDA that oral fluids should be included as a sample type for surveillance and diagnostic use against ASF and possibly other foreign animal and emerging diseases. To evaluate its use for this purpose, USDA needs to better understand how oral fluids are currently being used in the swine industry. Please take a few minutes to complete this survey.
