Implementing Biosecurity On Nursery-Grow-Finish Sites: A podcast

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.

Dr. Tyler Te Grotenhuis (Christensen Farms) and Dr. Mike Eisenmenger (recently retired from the Swine Vet Center) discuss with the At The Meeting team how to implement biosecurity on nursery-grow-finish sites.

Happy Fourth of July from the UMN Swine Team!

Wishing you a fun and safe Independence Day!

Should we be concerned about the effect of sample handling on PRRSV detection by RT-qPCR?

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, Iowa State researchers Page Berenice Munguía-Ramírez, Betsy Armenta-Leyva, Alexandra Henao-Díaz, Ting-Yu Cheng, Jianqiang Zhang, Gaurav Rawal, Fangshu Ye, Luis Giménez-Lirola and Jeffrey J. Zimmerman summarize three studies looking at the effect of temperature and time on the detection of PRRSV by PCR in serum, oral fluids and fecal samples.
