M. hyopneumoniae is involved in most of the co-infections of the porcine respiratory system. How does it act and what effects does it have?

Thinking about successful monitoring, one should keep in mind the objectives, the production phase, and the type of animal to be tested.

I had many great examples where the results of a farm were really the product of one person pushing for excellence. Best people will implement the science we taught them, nonetheless, their day to day work and observations will bring it to a higher level.

This article will review the different PRRS diagnostic options based on the different scenarios for which we complete PRRS sampling in the field.

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.

Its high survivability in the environment, a long infective period, limited cross-protection, strains with different pathogenicity, and lateral infections make stabilization difficult.

A discussion of the different micro and macroscopic lesions caused by PRRSV, PCV-2, swine flu virus, and porcine respiratory coronavirus.

This protocol allows for PRRS monitoring at all stages of pig production with good results, little technical difficulty, and a lower cost.

Which tests should be performed considering their limitations, and what management practices to use to increase security.
