RABapp™ is designed to support national secure supply plans and biosecurity programs. It currently facilitates the creation of:
The Rapid Access Biosecurity app (RABapp™) is a digital tool for the U.S. livestock industry. Developed by experts, it helps producers create standardized on-farm biosecurity plans. Its main purpose is to prevent and control the spread of infectious diseases. The web-based app tracks animal and vehicle movements to enable rapid contact tracing. This data is used to build disease transmission models to predict outbreaks. It provides a centralized, accessible system to enhance national livestock security.
Yes, producers with data in RABapp™ can enroll in US SHIP. RABapp™ has a dedicated tool where producers can enroll all of their farms. More information can be found in the US SHIP program.
Personnel from any entity that owns, operates, or sends or receives swine, cattle, or poultry — from large commercial to independent producers — are encouraged to participate in RABapp™. To take part and use RABapp™, there are a few simple steps to follow, if applicable:
1. Request a National Premises Identification Number (PremID or PIN) from the office of your State Animal Health Official if you do not already have one for your site.
2. Once step 1 has been completed, contact the RABapp™ team via email (machado-lab@ncsu.edu) or phone (919-513-0781). You may also contact the team for guidance and data collection tools if you are unfamiliar with on-farm biosecurity plans and would like additional assistance.
During outbreaks of major infectious disease threats such as African Swine Fever (ASF) and Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI), animal health officials need rapid access to compliant and accurate biosecurity plans. This access helps businesses resume standard operations, including animal transportation between farms. Working closely with swine, poultry, and beef producers, veterinarians, and animal health officials, the RABapp™ team provides a streamlined process for producing, reviewing, and approving plans. This ensures adherence to national requirements, maintains business continuity during emergencies, and enhances overall industry resilience.
Absolutely. Biosecurity is crucial for every farm, regardless of size. An outbreak in the region can impact everyone, and having a plan in place protects your animals and your livelihood. RABapp™ was designed to be simple and scalable for any operation.
RABapp™ walks you through creating a plan step-by-step, removing guesswork and providing the same level of preparedness as larger operations.
