PRRS creates frustrating challenges as it seems we have to keep learning the same lessons we already know, along with the occasional new chapter.
Too often a single sequence information is used to make important conclusions regarding virus source, especially for new PRRS outbreaks, guiding outbreak investigations, and future interventions.
Neonatal diarrhoea is a serious problem for farmers and vets. Affected piglets can develop severe diarrhoea from 1–2 h to 7 days following birth.
In this article we will focus the discussion on the practical applications of the new monitoring systems.
Let’s have a look at some common biosecurity myths and how standardized outbreak investigations can help to improve biosecurity outcomes.
This work establishes the parameters of normality in various cardiac parameters of healthy pigs and compares them with those of diseased animals. Final thesis at the Department of Veterinary Medicine, UAB, Spain, advised by Joaquím Segalés.
The evolution of multi-site pig production over the last 25 years has not held true to its original intent.
The knowledge and the experience of the veterinarian are important, but not enough. The most valuable information will be provided by the farmer, because they know their pigs and many details that the veterinarian may not see or know.
