Why is my farrowing rate less than ideal? Use this tool to discover the potential causes. Navigate using the flowchart or use the buttons within the text to access the different parts of the tool.

If I see a farrowing rate less than 85%, the next question I should ask is, "Are there sows returning to estrus?"

Serious problems occurred much less frequently with genotype a than with genotype b. Why did the frequency of these genotypes change?

Why do my sows come into heat soon after service?

Factors related to the semen dose, the boar, or the sow can cause regular returns to estrus.

There are several factors that can cause an abnormally long estrous cycle.

What are the causes of these returns?

This article lists the main infectious causes that can lead to irregular returns to estrus.

What are the most important points to include when auditing the cleaning and disinfection of a truck that has transported pigs? In this article we focus on visual inspection.

In this third article we will review the key aspects and critical points that need to be considered when designing a swine transport hygiene protocol for your system.

If the farrowing rate is less than ideal, with a normal percent of returns to estrus and abortions, we must consider the open sows.

If my farrowing rate is low, but the returns to estrus, abortions, and culled pregnant sows are all normal, I probably have dead sows...

Respiratory pathogens produce different coughs. Any coughing by pigs in a grow-out barn can vary according to the infection present, so it is worthwhile to listen carefully.

This article describes what the "ideal" wash station for cleaning animal transport vehicles would look like, with the highest standards.

This vaccine looks promising, but... are we going to see it in Europe?

This article summarizes some of the most important measures illustrated in our infographic video to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 between farm workers while performing their daily tasks at the farm.

The world of viruses is dynamic. Their epidemiology varies according to our actions. New strains and new serotypes appear. Are we prepared?

In this article we share the WHO guidelines for hand hygiene, which is a very important part of the day-to-day on a pig farm as incorrect washing leaves some areas dirty.

Why is achieving efficient transport biosecurity so complicated? In this first article of a series, we will review the different challenges we need to overcome in order to achieve more efficient biosecurity in pig transport vehicles.

In the years since the PCV-2 vaccine was introduced to solve the enormous problem caused by circovirus, what do you think has changed and how does it affect farms?

The three main causes suspected were a low level of vitamin E in sow diets, warfarin poisoning or thrombocytopenia purpura.

Do we clearly understand which are the most effective biosecurity measurements to prevent the transmission of ASF between farms when infection pressure increases? What are the major worries of those producers and veterinarians dealing with outbreaks of the disease over short distances?

What is the disease transmission risk that comes with importing raw materials? Many feed ingredients are produced in China.

Are we ready to step forward? And declare a suspicion? Do we know how to proceed? What are protocols that will be put in place and how quickly will they happen?

In a world where feed ingredients are marketed globally, do we know the minimum infectious dose to transmit the ASF virus in feed? And in water?

An easily performed vehicle traffic analysis can dramatically minimize the risk of cross contamination into your swine facility decreasing potential disease challenges.

What is the course of this disease in the field recently? Not always following the textbook description… Global swine professionals with field experience answer this and many other questions.
