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.
