How can I stop the routine tail-docking of piglets?
The European regulations state that before docking tails other measures that prevent tail-biting must be implemented, and therefore a thorough risk analysis must be carried out on each farm.
Supplementation of C. butyricum and B. licheniformis in weanling piglets
Dietary supplementation of C. butyricum might be a suitable alternative to antibiotics and ZnO for weanling pigs.

An image is worth a thousand words... and even more when talking about farm biosecurity
Three videos that illustrate how to make an appropriate transition between several key clean and dirty zones.
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.
Biosecure entry for farm personnel. Preventing two-legged fomites
We highlight different options for segregation of clean/dirty zones at the personnel entrance into the farm. This is where biosecurity starts. Keeping it simple and easy to follow increases the likelihood of an effective protocol.
Biofilm is a Trojan horse for pathogenic bacteria in the drinking water system
Biofilm, “the dirt in water pipes”, the causative agent of problems in the conditions and the quality of the water supply, is the subject of this article.
