Wildly easy

Ironically, reporting wild pig sightings is wildly easy now! Sightings can be automatically sent to Squeal on Pigs using the free Farm Health Guardian app.

• This innovation is the result of a new collaboration among the Manitoba Invasive Swine Eradication Project, Manitoba Pork, and Farm Health Guardian.

• Squeal on Pigs MB was launched earlier this year to get a better understanding of the wild pig population in the province of Manitoba, Canada. 

🐗 Since it’s suspected that the wild pig population in the province is growing – a risk to agriculture and a potential reservoir for diseases like African Swine Fever (ASF), producers and others in the industry are being asked to report sightings immediately.

• The support of Farm Health Guardian and its technology will further improve defensive measures by providing fast, highly accurate, and efficient reporting of locations and movements of invasive pigs.
