It's more difficult than ever to sift through accurate information these days.

In the Fall 2023 issue of the Precision Ag Digital Digest, we created a column 'Precision Agricultrue' to stick to the facts of modern farming.

We shed light on the global landscape of adoption, challenges and barriers to adoption, current and future market forecasts and most popular use cases.

But that's not all.

The Fall 2023 issue is full of innovation — we explore new AGCO products, a new digital soil moisture meter, nanotechnology's place in sustainable agriculture, a device to help swine producers monitor feed flow and so much more.

Oh, did we mention using bee's to apply fungicide? We cover that too.

Without further ado, we hope you enjoy the Fall 2023 Precision Agriculture Digital Digest — view it here!

Video: Genetics Behind Swine Resilience - Dr. Jenelle Dunkelberger

In this episode of The Swine it Podcast Show Canada, Dr. Jenelle Dunkelberger, geneticist at Topigs Norsvin, explains how genetics can improve disease resilience in pigs. She explores how resilience differs from resistance, the role of genetic variation, and how breeding strategies can enhance health and performance under disease pressure. Dr. Dunkelberger also covers practical applications and future implications for swine production. Listen now on all major platforms!

"Controlled experimental trials confirm that differences in mortality and performance under disease pressure are linked to genetic background, even when environmental conditions remain consistent."

Meet the guest: Dr. Jenelle Dunkelberger / jenelle-dunkelberger-9200ab86 is a geneticist at Topigs Norsvin, where she leads the Global Health and Behavior Research Platform. She earned her PhD from Iowa State University, focusing on host genetics and disease response in pigs. Her work centers on improving swine health and performance through genetic selection for resilience and behavior traits.
