The 26th IPVS congress was in the beautiful city of Rio de Janeiro this past month. A number of presentations were given by UMN speakers, sharing the latest news in swine research. Dr. Cipriano de Abreu from the MycoLab received two best presentation awards for his talks: “Mycoplasma hyorhinis detection in dams and piglets during lactation” and “An experimental aerossol infection model for Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae in pigs”.

Podcasts are a perfect way to get caught up with new swine information! We are presenting you the latest episode from “At The Meeting… Honoring Dr. Bob Morrison” in collaboration with SwineCast.
Planning and preparing for African swine fever’s arrival in the United States can feel overwhelming. To sort through it all and avoid fatigue, the National Pork Producers Council and National Pork Board have formed a working group charged with coordinating the work. The At the Meeting team learns what producers can expect when they talk with Dr. Jeremy Pittman, veterinarian with Smithfield Hog Production.
This is our Friday rubric: every week a new Science Page from the Bob Morrison’s Swine Health Monitoring Project. The previous editions of the science page are available on our website.
Researchers from the University of Guelph and the University of Montreal describe the distribution of serotypes of Streptococcus suis in this week’s science page. Thank you to researchers Aradanas, Poljak, Fittipaldi, Ricker, Farzan who worked on this study.
Veterinary students: It’s not too late to apply for Morrison Swine Innovator Prize! Share your work at the Allen D. Leman Swine Conference; it’s a great opportunity for veterinary students who want to network with industry leaders.
The Allen D. Leman Swine Conference includes a session for veterinary students to demonstrate their problem-solving skills through the presentation of a case or experience where students challenged their clinical training and problem-solving capabilities necessary for day-to-day practice. Creativity and originality in the support and delivery are encouraged. The session will take place in-personduring the afternoon of Sunday, September 18 at the Allen D.

Every year there is some form of disease outbreak in swine herds across the US. Whether it is PRRSV, PEDV, or something else, we need to make sure that we are doing everything in our power to maintain a high health status on our farms. In this podcast Dr. Cesar Corzo talks with Laura Greiner about his work on his Swine Health Monitoring Program about ways we can minimize the spread of diseases to other farms, and how to more effectively keep our farms disease free.
