ASF has never spread so widely across the globe. The question is not if it will arrive, but when. The latest outbreaks detected in Europe may provide valuable information as the wolf lurks.
Increased productivity has not come without consequences. Sows face greater physiological demands, which translates into a higher metabolic load, increased nutritional requirements, and, in many cases, increased mortality on farms. This phenomenon is of particular concern in Spain.
Pigs gain resistance to classical swine fever through gene editing, offering hope for protecting livestock against costly viral disease.
From October 8 to 10, the 333 team attended Vietstock 2025, Vietnam’s leading international exhibition for the feed, livestock, and meat industries, held at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC) in Ho Chi Minh City.
Assessing lung lesions at slaughter is useful for monitoring their evolution over time, and thus estimating the effectiveness of the measures implemented to control these diseases.
The choice of cut-off point influences sensitivity, specificity, and the occurrence of false positives or negatives. We explain why the timing of collection and the purpose of the test make a difference in interpreting the results.
Boosting key performance indicators in swine production requires addressing viral pathogens, which remain a major challenge for swine health, performance, and farm profitability. Emerging strains, such as H1N2#E and devastating diseases like ASF, highlight the urgency for innovative control strategies. C12 monoglycerides represent a promising approach to enhance pigs’ immune defenses and mitigate viral impact.
High sensitivity, specificity, and an affordable cost make ELISA an indispensable tool in laboratory routines. This infographic explains the mechanisms, components, and main variations of this assay in a visual and objective way.
When losses and costs from poor health threaten the current and future farm profitability, perhaps a “clean slate” should be considered.
This work presents a systematic review of the available scientific literature on the long-distance airborne transmission of PRRSV. Final thesis at the College of Veterinary Medicine, UAB, Spain, advised by Enric Mateu.
Tanzania International Pig Conference and Expo 2025 was held on 11th-12th July, 2025 and was attended by swine producers, veterinarians, industry leaders, swine companies, and international guests from several African countries.
Oral vaccination in pigs, previously limited to enteric pathogens, is emerging as an innovative strategy against respiratory diseases. By building on the potential of the Common Mucosal Immune System (CMIS), new formulations can trigger immune responses in distant mucosal sites starting from the gut.
By exploring the mechanisms of the Common Mucosal Immune System (CMIS), orally administered vaccines are capable of activating coordinated immune responses across different mucosal sites in the body. In this content, we explain how local activation in the GALT triggers protective effects in distant mucosal tissues, such as the respiratory tract, thereby expanding the reach of immune protection.
We already asked you this questions three years ago. In some countries, the disease was already present; in others, it entered during this time; and some remain free of it. We believe it's time to reassess the level of confidence in your country's biosecurity.
In healthy animals, PCV2 stays under the radar, causing little harm. But with coinfections that activate the immune system, the virus replicates more and becomes more damaging.
We need a container for syringes, needles, medicine bottles, sprays, and markers. Sometimes you see improvised and inadequate containers on farms, but the one presented here is very simple and functional.
PIGX2 conference organized by the South African pork producers organization was held on 31st July-1st August, 2025 in Pretoria.
The 28th International Pig Veterinary Society Congress will take place in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, from June 16 to 19, 2026.
