With current data, we will review the quantitative impact of some of the most relevant factors for sows in the lactation phase.

The survey by Pig333 reveals promising perspectives but ample room for improvement in biosecurity.

We propose a more direct indicator to look at and analyze reproductive problems on the farm.

The PigCHAMP Pro Europe database was used to analyze nurse sows, which wean almost twice the farm average.

Sows that try to recover after weaning no piglets have markedly lower performance and a significant chance of failing in lactation again.

The biosecurity ring analysis method is applicable on any type of farm and offers an overall perspective that helps us make organized and rational decisions.

We present a biosecurity evaluation method that ensures a comprehensive review: Biosecurity in rings.

We continue our comparison of production data between sow farms in Spain and the United States. This time we focus on replacement rate, pre-weaning mortality, and weaning weight.

Biosecurity is becoming increasingly important for disease prevention. In this article, we discuss how a biosecurity improvement plan can be organized.

The four most common mistakes on pig farms, illustrated with real examples.

Each farm should analyze its historical data to quantify the effect of seasonality on its farrowing rate and prolificacy.

Objective inspection and evaluation that checks current biosecurity measures and points out weaknesses in the system so that improvements can be made.

The incidence and distribution of small litters and factors affecting the number of piglets born alive on swine farms.

The innovative digital biosecurity control system and its application to the objective monitoring of internal biosecurity and on-farm movements.
