Dr. Megan Bible, a nutritionist for North and Central America with Hamlet Protein, spoke with The Pig Site’s Sarah Mikesell at the 2023 World Pork Expo in Des Moines, Iowa, USA.

“I would think one thing that everyone will agree with is that the weather has been absolutely fabulous,” said Dr. Bible. “This has been one of the best World Pork Expo’s for weather for many, many years.”

The great weather brought people into the booth, and she said it has kept people in the Hamlet tent longer, which was very busy throughout the show. Many customers came in to discuss what’s new at Hamlet and to get answers to questions and issues they were dealing with on-farm.

Video: Season 7, Episode 4: Using Data to Better Manage PRRSV

PRRS continues to be one of the biggest challenges facing pork producers, but each outbreak can also provide valuable information about herd recovery, losses and the management decisions that follow.In this episode, Dr. Ana Paula Serafini Poeta Silva, a research scientist at Iowa State University, discusses the PRRS Outbreak Management Program, or POMP, and what researchers have learned from a database containing information from more than 700 breeding-herd outbreaks. She explains how POMP uses data from individual outbreaks to establish benchmarks producers can use to better understand what to expect during recovery, including potential losses and the time it may take for a herd to return to baseline production. The conversation also explores how PRRS management has evolved, including the role of live virus inoculation and modified-live vaccines.
