Antibiotics in the Environment and Antibiotic Resistance
We share the world with a wide range of living organisms from microscopic bacteria to gigantic whales. Although we cannot see them, bacteria are all around us and are a normal part of our ecosystem and live, write Dale W. Rozeboom, Barbara E. Straw, Hui...

Biosecurity: Transport and Vehicle Controls
By Jake Waddilove, MA, VetMB, MRCVS. The importance of biosecurity for all vehicles associated with pig production cannot be stressed enough, as they provide an excellent vector through which disease can spread. And this is particularly the case with...

Production Viruses - A Global Challenge That's Costing a Fortune
By Jake Waddilove, MA, VetMB, MRCVS. In the late 1980's and early 1990's pig production throughout the world started to experience a change in disease patterns that has had a profound impact on the way we have kept pigs ever since. Before that time most...

Ins and Outs of Good Biosecurity
By Caroline Blaken, PIC UK. Biosecurity can be split into two main areas – external and internal. However, designing a practical routine or farm set-up that can optimise security and minimise potential risks is not often as simple as it sounds.

Gel Cleaning: Save On Labour, Energy and Water (=Money) And Clean Better!
By Luc Ledoux, CID LINES nv - Some people would argue that " a good high pressure rinse will do the cleaning job" using water only. What is basically done here is wetting a surface and adding pressure or physical energy to remove the dirt.

Personal Hygiene Should Be Integrated In A Full Bio Security Program
By Luc Ledoux, CID LINES nv - The old saying "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" is still valid in modern pig management. In this article, we will focus on the human being as a disease vector and look at how to integrate personal hygiene...

Disinfectants: The Rotation Myth
