Results demonstrate that ASFV-like nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses can retain viability in swine feed matrices during long-term transport across the continental United States.

Effects on trailer microclimate, pig behaviour, physiological response, and meat quality under Canadian summer conditions.

This study observed impacts of both proximity to weaning and transport duration on piglet welfare indicators.

Viral pathogens of pigs can survive in representative volumes of feed and feed ingredients during long-distance commercial transport across the continental United States.

The objective of this pilot study was to determine if a fluorescent powder (Glo Germ) could be used to study the transfer of contamination from livestock trailers to the center alleyway and pens in the barn during marketing events.

Under current biosecurity practices, a substantial risk exists for the spread of PRRS virus due to truck sharing.

ATP bioluminescence method can be used as a supplementary tool for monitoring surface cleanliness of transport trailers in a rapid, simple, inexpensive and reliable way.

Results provide further evidence that contaminated feed ingredients may represent a risk for transport of pathogens at domestic and global levels.

Based on the results of this study, the pre-slaughter feed withdrawal before slaughter affects behaviour and meat quality in pigs.

Under study conditions, a high-pressure wash with cold water plus application of an accelerated hydrogen peroxide or a combined glutaraldehyde and quaternary ammonium disinfectant is effective at inactivating PRRSV.

Crossbreeding appeared to have a greater impact on animal welfare and meat quality than vehicle type, but trailer type may emphasize these negative genotype-related defects.

The study assess the effects of the month, slaughter house of destination, length of the journey, and temperature–humidity index on mortality of heavy slaughter pigs during transport and lairage.

These results suggest that it may be possible to inactivate PEDV in the presence of feces by heating trailers to 160F for 10 minutes or by maintaining them at room temperature (68F) for at least 7 days.

Supplemental dietary tryptophan may reduce stress during handling and transport in weanling pigs.

3 hours lairage was insufficient to fully acclimatize pigs, while 12 hours resulted in lower stress measurements.

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.
