MSHMP – Swine in Minnesota

How to cite MSHMP content

The Morrison Swine Health Monitoring Project (MSHMP) has become a valuable resource for producers, veterinarians, researchers, educators, and professionals in the swine industry thanks to your willingness to share your data. We have been receiving questions regarding the appropriate way to reference MSHMP content in academic work or publications. Although our readers are welcomed to use any citation style, our examples below adhere to the American Psychological Association (APA) style guidelines. Below are instructions on how to cite various types of MSHMP content, including charts, science pages, publications, and other outreach materials. Always check the MSHMP website (https://mshmp.umn.edu/) for any additional citation instructions or updates.

Measures of disease occurrence review

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.

The MSHMP weekly report contains the graphic representation of the occurrence and dynamics of specific swine pathogens using epidemiologic tools that measures of disease occurrence such as, prevalence, cumulative prevalence and incidence. In this science page we would like to reacquaint our audience with a few of these tools.

Review of MSHMP PRRS Chart 2 ‐ Prevalence

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.

Key Points:

• Chart 2 depicts the prevalence (i.e., the proportion of breeding herds in each of the PRRS status categories over time).

• Since 2013, the proportion of farms that vaccinate (2vx) and that use field virus (2fvi) has not changed dramatically.

• The cyclical pattern of farms in status 1 observed early in the project is slowly disappearing after 2018.

Introducing the All-New MSHMP Website: Empowering the Swine Community with Knowledge and Collaboration!

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.

We are delighted to announce the successful completion and launch of the first publicly available Morrison Swine Health Monitoring Project (MSHMP) website – designed to optimize MSHMP output dissemination within both the participant and industry communities. The website represents a significant milestone in our mission to enhance collaboration and communication within the swine industry.

Morrison Swine Health Monitoring Project Incidence Year 2022 / 2023 Annual Summary

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.

The 2022-2023 MSHMP incidence year again brought us unexpected events and chances to learn. We were able to meet these challenges because you, as an MSHMP participant, continue to share your data. We would like to provide a general update and summary of where we are at this point.
