EthoGuard President Mark Beaven Proudly introduces the Biosecurity Boot Bench

A Danish Entry is a Great Biosecurity Tool.

As concerns about animal diseases and biosecurity continue to rise, it’s becoming increasingly important for farmers to take proactive measures to prevent the spread of diseases on their farms. One such measure is the use of a Danish Entry System, which is an effective tool for minimizing the risk of disease transmission.

In a Danish Entry System, the entry and exit points of the farm are separated into different zones, with strict protocols in place for movement between them. This system is designed to prevent the entry of potentially infected animals or people into the farm’s main production areas, thereby reducing the risk of disease transmission.

There are several reasons why a Danish entry system is good for biosecurity on a farm:

Seaweed-Based Solutions: Building Natural Performance in Modern Swine Production

Video: Seaweed-Based Solutions: Building Natural Performance in Modern Swine Production

In today’s pork industry, producers are under increasing pressure to do more with fewer inputs—while maintaining performance, improving animal health, and meeting sustainability expectations.

we sit down with Sylvain David and Scott Preston from Olmix to explore how seaweed-based solutions are emerging as a foundational tool in modern swine nutrition.

Rather than acting as simple alternatives, these solutions are designed to support gut health, immune resilience, and overall system consistency—especially during key stress periods like weaning, feed transitions, and disease challenges.

The conversation dives into:

• What seaweed-based solutions actually are and how they work

• Why consistency and standardization matter in “natural” products

• How gut health connects to immune function and performance

• Where producers are seeing real-world impact today

• The role of natural solutions in the future of sustainable pork production
