sampling – Swine in Minnesota

Summary: Comparison of a novel rapid sampling method to serum and tonsil scraping to detect PRRSV in acutely infected sows

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.

In this week’s Science Page Peng Li, Ana Paula Poeta Silva, Daniel Moraes, Paul Yeske, Henry Osemeke, Edison Magalhaes, Gustavo Silva, and Daniel Linhares share a summary of their study comparing different PRRSV sampling methods.

Oropharyngeal swab sampling for PRRSV detection in large-scale pig farms: A convenient and reliable method for mass sampling

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 Science Page today is from researchers Mingyu Fan, Yang Li, Zhiqiang Hu, Lujie Bian, Weisheng Wu, Wei Liu, Lili Wu and Xiaowen Li, who take a look at oropharyngeal swab sampling for PRRSV detection in experimental and field conditions.

Best of Leman 2021: Andreia Arruda – How many different PRRSV can be found in farms in a single sampling event and overtime?

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.

This month we learn about PRRSV with Dr. Andreia Arruda (Ohio State University).

Are you a researcher who would like to present their research at the Leman Swine Conference? The Leman Swine Conference is accepting abstracts for the 2022 conference! Read about the requirements and submission process on the Leman Swine Website.

Summary: Superficial Inguinal Lymph Nodes for Screening Dead Pigs for African Swine Fever

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 many different countries and institutions came together to bring us this week’s Science Friday article on African Swine Fever. Goonewardene, Onyilagha, Goolia, Phan Le, Blome, and Ambagala share information on Superficial Inguinal Lymph Nodes (SILNs) sampling for screening for ASF.

How many PRRSV variants can we find in a swine farm in a sampling event?

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 at the Ohio State University, North Carolina University and the University of Minnesota describe the genetic variability of PRRSV found in swine farms with different production types.
