Innovative strategies for managing swine welfare during the COVID-19 pandemic in Iowa

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) was declared a global pandemic on March 11, 2020 by the World Health Organization and its impact on animal agriculture in the United States was undeniable. By April, COVID-19 resulted in the simultaneous closure or reduced operations of many meat processing plants in the upper Midwest, leading to supply chain disruptions. In Iowa, the leading pork production and processing state, these disruptions caused producer uncertainty, confusion, and stress, including time-sensitive challenges for maintaining animal care. The Iowa Resource Coordination Center (IRCC) was quickly created and launched from the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship (IDALS). The IRCC included public representation from the Iowa Pork Producers Association (IPPA), Iowa Pork Industry Center (IPIC), and Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, and private partners including producers, veterinarians, and technical specialists. Supporting swine welfare, the IRCC provided information on management strategies, dietary alterations to slow pig growth, alternative markets, on-farm euthanasia, and mass depopulation under veterinary oversight. In a crisis, Iowa created a model that reacted to producers’ pragmatic, mental and emotional needs. This model could be quickly replicated with an introduction of a foreign animal disease.

13 Innovative Strategies for Managing Swine Welfare During Natural Disasters

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) was declared a global pandemic on March 11, 2020, by the World Health Organization. By April 2020, COVID-19 resulted in the simultaneous closure or reduced operations of many processing plants in the upper Midwest, which quickly resulted in supply chain disruptions. Iowa is the leading pork production and processing state, and these disruptions caused producer uncertainty, confusion, and stress, including time-sensitive challenges for maintaining animal care. The Resource Coordination Center (RCC) was quickly created and launched from the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship. The RCC had strategic collaborations with public representation from the Iowa Pork Producers Association, Iowa Pork Industry Center, and Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, and private partners through producers, veterinarians, and technical specialists. The RCC’s mission was four-fold: (1) implement appropriate actions to ensure the health and safety of RCC members, stakeholders, and the public, (2) evaluate and reassess appropriate actions as needed for continuity of pork production operations, (3) provide information to pork producers during supply chain disruptions, and (4) maintain a safe and abundant pork supply for consumers. The command structure included Incident Commanders, Command Staff, and four Section Chiefs whom worked with their respective experts. Sections covered (1) operations, (2) planning, (3) logistics, and (4) finance and administration. As it related to animal welfare, the RCC provided information on management decisions, dietary alterations to slow pig growth, pig movement to increase living space, alternative markets, on-farm euthanasia and mass depopulation. Veterinary oversight was continually maintained. A manual was created to provide up-to-date information to inform producer decisions and aid. Although originally created for swine, the RCC also assisted poultry, cattle and sheep producers. In a crisis, Iowa created a model that reacted to producer’s pragmatic and emotional needs. This model could be replicated for any emergency by other states.

Egg production: conventional or cage-free?

Research methodology This case was primarily researched using academic research papers, industry reports (Egg Industry Center and others), and finance databases including Standard and Poor’s Capital IQ. Regarding the cost and investment budgets, the case relies mainly on an experiment conducted by the Coalition for Sustainable Egg Supply, updated by the authors of this case. Case overview/synopsis Eggs produced by cage-free birds, while more expensive than conventionally produced eggs, are gaining in popularity among consumers who want only eggs that are produced more humanely. A number of major distributors, including Whole Foods, McDonalds and Starbucks have pledged to sell only cage-free produced eggs by 2025. Several states including California, Oregon and Michigan have passed laws limiting conventional egg production. The case provides costs and industry information and needed to project free cash flows and risk-adjusted opportunity cost of capital and perform break-even capital budgeting analysis of the two egg production alternatives. Complexity academic level This case is appropriate for graduate corporate finance courses. It is particularly appropriate for agribusiness finance courses. A preliminary exercise was used during the fall 2018 in a land grant university, just after the “Prevention of Cruelty to Farm Animals Act,” also known as Proposition 12, was passed in California in favor of cage-free egg production. The exercise was revised and used in the fall 2019 in the same class. This extended version of the case, was classroom tested in the fall 2020 in an agribusiness finance graduate class, with agricultural economics and business students enrolled.

And through the results of field surveys and internet research, the site is close to PIK (Small Industry Center) which is an area that is a shopping center for people in the surrounding area which is dominated by the textile and food industry. So this building will also support the surrounding area, namely the PIK (Small Industry Center) by producing plants that can produce cloth fibers and also some staple and supporting foods that have fast harvest times so that they can produce quickly given the pandemic conditions that have resulted in increased demand. Therefore, this project is expected to minimize the issues raised. Keywords: Covid-19; Urban Farming; Work Termination AbstrakTahun 2020 ini umat manusia diseluruh dunia digoncang dengan adanya pandemi Covid-19 yang sangat mempengaruhi kehidupan masyarakat dan menimbulkan banyak keresahan. Pemerintah Indonesia menerapkan sistem “dirumah aja”. Dan dengan adanya aturan ini membuat para pekerja dan buruh pabrik banyak yang dikurangi gajinya, dan beberapa diberi kebijakan Pemutusan Hubungan Kerja padahal masih produktif untuk bekerja. Sehingga dampak Covid-19 tidak hanya berdampak pada kesehatan, perekonomian, tetapi juga pada Tenaga Kerja dan juga mengganggu ketahanan pangan. Sektor pangan merupakan salah satu sektor yang tahan disetiap krisis dan seperti yang kita tahu pangan merupakan kebutuhan utama setiap masyarakat. Proyek “Pertanian Ramah Lingkungan dikawasan Cakung” sebagai wadah produktif untuk menampung para pengangguran dikawasan sekitar akibat PHK agar mereka mendapat pekerjaan, belajar, dan meningkatkan keterampilan mereka. Maka dari itu proyek ini berlokasi di Kecamatan Cakung, Jakarta Timur. Proyek ini dirancang berbasis urban farming yang dalam arti bercocok tanam dilingkungan perkotaan dengan menggunakan sistem tanam hidroponik agar hasil produksi lebih sehat. Dan melalui hasil survei lapangan dan riset internet, lokasi tapak berdekatan dengan PIK (Pusat Industri Kecil) yang merupakan area yang menjadi pusat perbelanjaan orang-orang dikawasan sekitar yang didominasi dengan industri tekstil dan makanan. Maka bangunan ini juga akan mendukung kawasan sekitar yaitu PIK (Pusat Industri Kecil) dengan memproduksi tanaman yang dapat menghasilkan serat kain dan juga beberapa makanan pokok dan pendukung yang memiliki waktu panen yang cepat agar dapat produksi dengan cepat mengingat kondisi pandemi yang mengakibatkan peningkatkan kebutuhan. Oleh sebab itu proyek ini diharapkan dapat menimalisir isu yang diangkat.
