July Domestic Swine Disease Monitoring Report Now Available

The Swine Health Information Center's (SHIC) July Domestic Swine Disease Monitoring Report is available.

This month's Domestic Swine Disease Monitoring Report reveals a moderate decrease in PCR detection for PRRSV and PEDV. However, PEDV overall RT-PCR detection in six states (NC, KS, NE, IA, MO, and MN) and PRRSV detection in two states (NE and MO) remains above state-specific baseline levels. Also, PCV2 had a marked increase in the PCR detection in the wean-to-market category. In the podcast, the SDRS hosts talk with Dr. Fernando Bortolozzo, Professor at Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil), about pre-weaning mortality: USA x Latin America, the importance of day one care, cross-fostering, and colostrum intake, and implementations to improve pre-weaning mortality. The Swine Disease Reporting System podcast is now on Spotify, Apple podcast, Google podcast, and Amazon Music.

Today at Ewetopia Farms, we're on the move again—reorganizing our sheep pens to keep up with the ever-changing needs of our flock. As we continue the weaning process, it's crucial that our housing and feeding setups evolve, too. That means moving sheep from barn to barn to group animals by their nutritional needs and developmental stages—whether it’s weaned ewes, replacement yearlings, rams, or growing lambs.
