New independent research validates FeedARMOR against EhV, the industry-standard surrogate model virus for the African Swine Fever virus. A McNess news release said this is a significant step forward in low-inclusion feed biosecurity. The Schroeder Lab at the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine tested FeedARMOR against EhV. The results showed a 99.99 percent reduction in a viable virus in only one hour. Feed ingredients are a confirmed introduction pathway for ASFV, and there’s currently no approved vaccine in the U.S. Research has shown that ASFV-like viruses can survive in feed up to 120 days at all storage temperatures, meaning extended storage alone is not an effective mitigation strategy. Since FeedARMOR launched at the 2025 World Pork Expo, two independent university studies have expanded its proven efficacy. A second University of Minnesota study demonstrated up to a 100 percent reduction in Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus.
