Animal Transportation Association (ATA)


A non-profit association dedicated to the safe and humane transportation of animals worldwide.

We are dedicated to helping our members innovate and succeed with the benefit of shared insights, connections and expertise. As part of the ATA, animal transporters can network, learn from each other, and work collaboratively to overcome challenges. 

Events

Not only do our signature events spark important dialogue about globally relevant issues, but these gatherings also provide an engaging forum to explore contemporary animal transport topics and leading-edge research findings.

Upcoming Webinar

PIC’s PRRS-Resistant Pig was developed to protect pigs from one of the most devastating swine diseases around the world, the Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) virus. A recent study from Iowa State University reported that PRRS costs $1.2 billion per year, in the U.S. alone. At any given time, greater than 60% of sow herds are PRRS positive in the U.S. and PRRS is endemic in most major pork producing countries with more than 60 countries having reported PRRS outbreaks. Pig farmers have tried to protect their pigs from PRRS by relying on tools like vaccines with limited success – vaccines only reduce symptom severity but they do not prevent PRRS. Now PIC, in conjunction with university researchers, has developed a solution that aims to alleviate the impact of the virus: Pigs that are resistant to PRRS. Using gene editing technology, PIC developed PRRS-resistant pigs by deleting a portion of a specific protein the virus needs to cause infection. This genetic innovation can make pigs resistant to the PRRS virus, which could improve animal health and welfare, reduce the need for antibiotics, and enhance farm sustainability. Join Lindsay and Marisa in discussing PIC's path to and next steps for the PRRS-Resistant Pig.
