Mark Schwartz and Dr. Brad Leuwerke discuss “Detection of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus type 2 in air emissions from grow-finish barns”

The Swine Disease Eradication Center is proud to present another episode of “Processing the Litter-ature”: a podcast in which peer-reviewed papers are docked, clipped and supplemented with a field perspective.

Assessment of Antibiotic Use in Grow-Finish Pigs After PRRSV Introduction in a PRRSV-Naïve Breeding Herd

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.

For today’s Science Page we bring you a study by Iowa State University researchers Isadora Machado, Thomas Petznick, Ana Paula Silva, Chong Wang, Locke Karriker, Daniel Linhares, and Gustavo Silva taking a look at the association between PRRSV-positive status and increased antibiotic usage in the growing pig population.
