Welcome to this week's newsletter
Editorial - US and UK: Latest Statistics Reveal Greater Industry Confidence 
We have 7 new features this week: How Geneticists Will Help Feed Nine Billion People The theme of the 21st JSR Genetics Technical Conference earlier this month was Science – the Key to Feeding the World. Jackie Linden, editor of ThePigSite, reports on some of the event highlights, focussing in this article on the contribution of genetics and breeders. Growing Global Market for Offal Global exports of offal are worth about £140 million – about eight per cent of the total global meat product market, writes ThePigSite senior editor, Chris Harris. Free Space Utilisation by Sows in Free Access Stalls Sows housed in the pens arranged in a T-shape used the free-space area significantly more than the sows housed in pens arranged in an I-shape, according to F.C. Lang, S.M. Hayne, V. Heron and H.W. Gonyou in the Prairie Swine Centre Annual Report 2009. Castration in the Swine Industry and the Impact on Growth Performance – Physical versus Vaccination Frank Dunshea of the University of Melbourne, Australia, gave a thorough review of the impacts of castration (both physical and by vaccination) on the performance of male pigs at the London Swine Conference 2010. He also covered the important practical aspects of both managing and feeding vaccinated boars. EU-27 - Livestock and Products Annual 2010 Beef and pork exports are expected to recover this year, writes Bob Flach in the latest GAIN report from USDA Foreign Agricultural Service. Between 2009 and 2011, EU cattle and pig numbers are projected to shrink 2.3 and 1.6 per cent, respectively. Hong Kong - Livestock and Products Annual 2010 The value of US pork and offal exports to Hong Kong this year is expected to be five per cent below 2009 although some growth is forecast in certain cuts. US pork meat exports to Hong Kong are likely to decline as the results of new Chinese policies regarding re-export trade, writes Caroline Yuen in the latest GAIN report from the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service. United Kingdom Pig Meat Market Update - September 2010 James Park, senior economic analyst with AHDB Meat Services Economic and Policy Analysis Group, explains the latest trends in pig production in the UK and European Union. 
BIVI Requests Proposals for PRRS Research Awards US - In its continuing efforts to help swine producers and veterinarians better manage porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS), Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica, Inc., (BIVI) is again seeking research study proposals focused on this devastating disease. Promotion for Pig Professionals UK - As part of a drive to get more people signed up to the Pig Industry Professional Register (PIPR) new members will be given a year's free subscription to Pig World magazine. The first ten free subscriptions will be paid for by Pig World and the second ten by BPEX. BPEX Sets AI Standard UK - To try and improve the competitiveness of the English pig industry, BPEX and the NPA recognised that the industry needed to focus on improving reproductive performance and spread the costs of production over more pigs. EXCEDE Now Approved for SRD Control US - EXCEDE® (ceftiofur crystalline free acid) Sterile Suspension from Pfizer Animal Health is now approved by the US Center for Veterinary Medicine and the Food and Drug Administration for the control of swine respiratory disease (SRD) associated with Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, Pasteurella multocida, Haemophilus parasuis and Streptococcus suis in groups of pigs where SRD has been diagnosed. Novel Swine Vaccine Approved in China CHINA - Chinese swine producers have been given the go-ahead to use Improvac®, the novel vaccine that is used in other major swine-producing markets as an alternative to physical castration for the control of boar taint. Yeske Honoured with Allen D. Leman Award US - Paul Yeske, DVM, MS, was named the recipient of the 2010 Allen D. Leman Science in Practice Award. Mycofix More Effective against Toxins AUSTRIA - Putting Mycofix® to the test in several in vitro and in vivo experiments involving ergot and endotoxin poisoning, Biomin proves once again its leading reputation in (myco)toxins control and management. Pig Event at EuroTier on Sustainable Pig Farming GERMANY - The European Pig Producers Club (EPP) will again be hosting the Pig Event on the eve of EuroTier. More Exhibitors at EuroTier 2010 GERMANY - The world comes together at the world's top event for animal production, EuroTier 2010 , which is being held at the Exhibition Grounds in Hanover from 16 to 19 November 2010.
