Independent research highlights effectivity of FeedARMOR against ASFV

New independent research validates FeedARMOR™ against EhV, the industry standard surrogate model virus for African swine fever virus (ASFV), marking a significant step forward in low inclusion (<2 lbs per ton) feed biosecurity. McNess made this announcement at World Pork Expo 2026. The Schroeder Laboratory at the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine tested FeedARMOR against EhV, the validated surrogate model virus for ASFV. Results showed 99.99% reductions in viable virus in just one hour. Feed ingredients are a confirmed introduction pathway for ASFV, and there is currently no approved US vaccine for the virus. Research has shown ASFV-like viruses can survive in feed for up to 120 days at all storage temperatures, meaning extended storage alone is not an effective mitigation strategy. “ASFV and PEDV are the most serious disease threat facing US pork producers today that require effective and trusted feed mitigation,” says Dr. Fredrik Sandberg, Innovation ...
