Bulletin No. 17 - Winter 2003
Summary
This issue of the Merial Swine Bibliographic Bulletin. The global pig industry is experiencing ongoing problems with both PRRS and PMWS/PCV2 so it is no surprise that these two subjects once again dominate this bulletin.The bulletin uses a variety of sources, and included in this issue are papers from the 1st Asian Pig Veterinary Society meeting held in Seoul, September 2003, the Association Fran?oise de Medecine Veterinaire Porcine, France, December 2003 and the 2003 Allen Lehman Swine Conference. Other topics covered include economics, food safety and bioterrorism.
