Research Paves the Way for Improved Animal Health and Productivity
Understanding how inherited characteristics relate to specific genomes will eventually allow researchers to develop tools that can be used to guide animal breeding, selection and management decisions, writes Laura McGinnis and colleagues at the ARS.

Salt Poisoning and Water Deprivation
Dehydration is a common sequel to many disease problems and management circumstances. The pig appears to be particularly vulnerable to a form of dehydration that presents as a specific disease entity, which we refer to as salt poisoning or water deprivation,...

Minimising Heat Stress in Outdoor Sows
It is important to provide for the sows' needs in the summer - and luckily it costs very little to do so, according to farm manager Tom Leddra, in BPEX KT Farm Case Study 3.

Shoulder Sores in Sows: Causes and Treatment
By BPEX. It is of interest to all parties to reduce the number of sows with shoulder sores, as sores not only affect performance but are also a major welfare concern. Reducing shoulder sores may have a greater impact on productivity than initially thought...

PCV2 a b c - 1 2 3: Taxonomic Conundrum
There are three broad groups of porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2), which differ in their ability to cause PMWS. In its June 2008 newsletter, the EU PCVD Consortium explains its new scientific definition of the genotypes, which was needed to standardise nomenclature....

Food Glorious Food: How PMWS can be Controlled through Feed
Researchers have been unable to link PMWS with any dietary ingredient or colostrum intake, but one feed additive appeared to reduce the number of pigs excreting PCV2 viruses. The results are summarised in the June 2008 issue of the newsletter from the...
