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.

A group of swine professionals will describe their field experience and perspective gained while fighting against African Swine Fever.

Key considerations for the design of biosecure and practical pig loading chutes that will minimize disease transmission during the animal movement process.

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.

Three videos that illustrate how to make an appropriate transition between several key 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.

Time flies and wild boar breed at a faster rate than our ability to control them.

The overgrowth of horn of the claw leading to slipper feet, cracking or separation, and secondary septic laminitis has a multifactorial origin.
