Relationship between biosecurity level and antimicrobial use in the pig industry
Biosecurity is a useful measure to promote the reduction of antimicrobial use in the pig industry.
Biosecurity practices in Spanish pig herds
The findings revealed that medium-sized to large farms located in high pig density regions reported higher biosecurity measures.
Relationship between biosecurity measures and production, health and treatment in pig herds
It is generally believed that biosecurity measures in pig production improve performance and health status of the pigs, but limited quantitative data is available to support this hypothesis.
Disinfection protocols reduce the amount of porcine circovirus type 2 in contaminated 1:61 scale model livestock transport vehicles
Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of disinfection protocols on porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) in 1:61 scale model livestock trailers and determine the infectivity of PCV2 DNA detected using a bioassay.
Median infectious dose (ID50) of PRRSV for young pigs via aerosol exposure
The objective of this research was to quantify the likelihood of PRRSV transmission via aerosol as a function of exposure dose. This data is critical to understanding of airborne transmission of PRRSV between pigs, within herds, and between herds.
Aerial mapping: Adding to the swine industry’s toolbox for area regional disease control
Area regional disease control (ARDC) strategies are an important tool in the swine industry due to the ability of many swine diseases, most notably PRRS, to spread by methods other than direct animal contact.
