Indiana Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory Joins Swine Disease Reporting System

The Indiana Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory at Purdue University is now providing the diagnostic data it collects on swine to the Swine Disease Reporting System.
The Swine Health Information Center funded Swine Disease Reporting System has once again expanded, with the addition of diagnostic data collected by the Indiana Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory at Purdue University.
Established in 2017, the mandate of the Swine Disease Reporting System is monitoring and reporting diagnostic data and trends of endemic diseases in U.S. swine.
Purdue joins the Iowa State University Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory, the South Dakota State University Animal Disease Research and Diagnostic Laboratory, the University of Minnesota Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory, Kansas State University Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory and the Ohio Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory.
Swine Health Information Center Associate Director Dr. Megan Niederwerder says the addition of Purdue was at the request of swine sector stakeholders.

Nothing Slows Down on a Pig Farm

Video: Nothing Slows Down on a Pig Farm



50 yards of concrete went down at the Manure Seperation building today. Forms set, rebar tied, gravel packed, and the trucks running one after another until the pad is poured and the crew is finishing it flat.

And because nothing on a pig farm waits for you to finish one job, the semi shows up while the concrete's still wet. Tork and I unload another load of pigs into the barn, get them sorted into pens, and walk the barn once they're settled. Two big jobs, one day, and both of them had to happen.
