The role of non-progressive atrophic rhinitis: Looking beyond the snout
How do turbinate atrophy and the effect on cilia caused by B. bronchiseptica affect the incidence of S. suis and porcine respiratory disease complex?
How do turbinate atrophy and the effect on cilia caused by B. bronchiseptica affect the incidence of S. suis and porcine respiratory disease complex?
To reduce mortality, it is essential to diagnose the causes. To do so, we must answer four basic questions: how, who, when, and where? In this article, we'll address the latter two.
Are we using the best samples and techniques to monitor PRRS absence in boar studs?
The biocidal properties of silver nanoparticles are of interest in the context of increasing antibiotic resistance. What are their uses?
In this second installment, we cover extracting the tongue, trachea, lungs, and heart in one piece. We will extract the organs of the abdominal cavity, both the digestive system and the urinary and genital tracts. In the head, we will access the nasal turbinates, brain, and cerebellum.
Modulation of the microbiota seems to influence the presence of S. Suis and the expression of its virulence factors.
To reduce mortality, it is essential to diagnose the causes. To do so, we must answer four basic questions: how, who, when, and where? In this article, we'll address the first two.

This new section, coordinated by the pathological anatomy team of the University of Cordoba, Spain, will show us, in a very visual and practical way, how to perform a necropsy on a pig.
A case study on identifying and addressing entry-related biosecurity hazards on a sow farm.
In the end, depopulation was the option to reduce mortality and the excessive use of antibiotics in the nursery and subsequent phases.

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.
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.
The detection of a pathogen alone is not sufficient for elucidating the aetiology behind neonatal diarrhoea outbreaks. The diagnosis of neonatal diarrhoea is one of the most challenging ones in daily pig practice.
The feed industry has a significant and essential role to play in achieving One Health in pork production on multiple levels.
Depending on the levels of maternal derived immunity, a potential interference of vaccine intake may happen, jeopardizing vaccine seroconversion and efficacy.

What happens if the agent that causes swine dysentery is detected, but there is no disease? This is how can it be diagnosed and the consequences to the herd.
This case describes the deferred lesions resulting from tail biting and quantifies the losses it causes.
We must assure correct management, primarily in the following points: Number of animals / drinker, placement, flow, control of water consumption, design and height of the drinker.
