Seropositive wild boar in certain areas suggests that some animals may be surviving for some time or could even be recovering from the disease. This could be due to the presence of related viruses of reduced virulence.

Cases of reproductive failure around mating: as real as life itself
Management of dead semen, data analysis, vaccinations,... These are some examples that we will deal with in the following 6 case studies.
Diagnostic darkness: recurring fertility decline in summer
Pig reproduction and summer are not good friends, Heat comes, daylight hours drop, fertility decreases and the vets come across more reproductive pathology than during the rest of the year. Why doing always the same does not always yield the same result?
Weaning-to-service interval: not only non-productive days
It is not only related to NPDs, but it can also have a greater impact than we first thought.
Advances in artificial insemination in nulliparous sows
The morphological differences in the cervical wall and canal between multiparous and nulliparous sows require deep AI devices adapted to the characteristics of the nulliparous.

Low cost, high impact biosecurity: well-defined clean and dirty zones
Let's clarify what are the clean and dirty zones and its boundaries. A series of articles will discuss how to apply segregation principles to farm zones for the prevention of pathogen entry.
Can we apply principles of outdoor farming on an indoor unit? Facilities and management (II/II)
The second part of this article tells us what we can learn from sow's nesting instinct, creep-feed intake, relationship with the operator and groups formation in camping systems for use in our closed farms.
Effect of the available space in the fattening pens on growth and carcass
How much space is needed to optimise performance with the current slaughter weights?
Waterproof bags can make cell phone entry more biosecure

Create a rodent proof perimeter around swine facilities using smooth vertical fence tiles
Choosing a smooth tile type with seamless gap material will not allow rodents to achieve a foothold that would facilitate their climbing ability
An effective disinfectant
In times when biosecurity is vital, the choice of a good disinfectant is key.
