Concise summaries of published swine health and production research, organized for quick discovery.
Among apparently healthy slaughter pigs in Thailand, S. suis was common and genetically diverse, but molecular markers did not perfectly distinguish commensal from pathogenic strains.
PPV2 was common in lungs from Colombian pigs, but coinfections predominated and direct localization in lesions was uncommon, so detection did not establish causation.
In a Quebec-tailored life-cycle assessment, precision feeding reduced modeled climate, acidification, and eutrophication impacts compared with conventional three-phase feeding.
In Switzerland, active ingredient use per pig declined from 2018 to 2021 while indicators based on treatment days or treatment incidence increased.
Diagnostic laboratory data supported rapid PRRSV trend monitoring in Ontario while highlighting the importance of metadata quality and limits of RFLP classification.
Exhaust-air sampling detected the onset of PRRSV circulation at the same sampling event as oral fluids in three barns, but it was less sensitive for later monitoring.
A longitudinal comparison of postmortem tongue fluids and oral fluids for PRRSV and influenza A surveillance in growing pigs.
