  4. Exported Product Value to Producers • For every $1 million dollars of muscle meats exported, live value increases by $0.05/CWT • For every $1 million dollars of variety meats exported, live value increases by $0.20/CWT

  5. How Do We Work To Keep Export Markets Open In A Crisis?

  6. U.S. Pork Industry Crisis Plan Strategy

  13. FMD CROSS-SPECIES COMMUNICATIONS TEAM

  14. FMD Cross-Species Team

  15. FMD Cross-Species Team • Through coordination, these industries work together • Operations and Communications • Overall U.S. livestock crisis plan • Species-specific, yet in the interest of all

  16. Research Overview

  17. Research Objectives • Before an outbreak, we want to understand current awareness and knowledge levels regarding: • Awareness of vaccinations of livestock, • Awareness and knowledge of FMD, and • Top-of-mind concerns, if there was an FMD outbreak

  18. Research Objectives • Also want to explore consumers’ understanding and acceptance of various FMD message categories (last assessed in 2007) • 1) Food Safety • 2) Disease Impact and Management • 3) FMD Containment • 4) FMD Control • 5) Vaccinations

  19. Research Process All participants ate meat or dairy products at least two times each month. Mix of ages, sex, employment, education, ethnicity, income and geographic location.

  20. Lessons Learned • People THINK they’ve heard of the disease . . . . . . but most often have it confused with HFMD • People are interested . . . . . . and want more detail than anticipated • People want reassurance . . . which means understanding there is collaboration and a plan

  21. Most Reassuring Messages Reassurance: The majority feels reassured by the different categories of messages. The FMD containment messages are the most reassuring.

  22. Vaccination

  23. Collaboration is crucial • People are more interested than anticipated • Understanding the international landscape instills confidence Key Takeaways: Vaccination

  24. Vaccination Awareness • Both qualitative and quantitative results suggest consumers do not have top-of-mind awareness of livestock vaccinations, yet the majority (55%) know animals are vaccinated when they think about it. “I don’t know if animals are currently being vaccinated. It would be fine with me if they do this, as long as they test the vaccine and make sure that it would not be harmful for humans.”

  25. Vaccination Acceptance • Consumers believe vaccines are necessary and routine for protecting humans, pets and livestock • Some expressed concern about the potential for it to be passed to humans through consumption “I would not mind eating meat or milk from vaccinated animals as long as I know it is safe.”

  26. A plurality (38%) of consumers who are aware of routine vaccinations feel this procedure makes meat or milk more safe to consume. One-fifth feels it makes products less safe. “Do you think these vaccines make the meat or milk more safe to eat, less safe to eat or have no effect on safety?” (n=587)

  27. Vaccination Acceptance in the Context of an Outbreak • Consumers are reassured by the messages that were tested • Some consumers would likely avoid consuming milk and meat until they knew it was under control • Consumers support vaccinations in the event of an FMD outbreak

  28. Credible Sources Vast majority of consumers consider government agencies credible sources of information. Fewer than half find livestock organizations credible. 85%

  29. The Bottom Line • In the event of an FMD outbreak, communications should: • Assure consumers of food safety and what is being done to contain the outbreak • Reference trusted and credible organizations and sources • Provide resources for additional information • Integrate a human element
