The swine industry has changed significantly since 1980 with intensified swine systems, early weaning approaches, three site production systems, AI, (both artificial intelligence and artificial insemination), facility filtration systems and overall enhanced biosecurity. Throughout this time we have witnessed consistent and recurring emerging and reemerging diseases that have impacted the health of swine and affected profitability.
Continue reading “Pigs: A host for a vast array of viruses”This is our most popular series on the blog. Once a month, we are sharing with you a presentation given at the Allen D. Leman swine conference, on topics that the swine group found interesting, innovative or that lead to great discussions.
You can find all of the presentations selected from previous conferences on the blog here.
