November Domestic Swine Disease Monitoring Report Now Available

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

This month’s Domestic Swine Disease Monitoring Report highlights several key points: PRRSV activity continues to rise, with 43.67% positivity in wean-to-market sites, while sow farm positivity remains relatively low at 17.03%. The lineage L1C.5 is surging, with 3,653 detections in 2025 already surpassing last year’s total and has become the predominant lineage over other lineages, such as L1A and L1H. IAV positivity reached 35.44% in wean-to-market, accompanied by a surprising decrease in sow farm positivity to 15.16%. Following the expected pattern for this time of the year, M. hyopneumoniae reached its highest overall positivity. A bonus page features highlights from the SDRS Advisory Group on current pathogen activity, presented during the October 2025 Winter Preparedness Call. 

In the podcast, Dr. Brooke Kitting, Senior Veterinarian at Seaboard Foods, discusses strategies for tackling PRRSV outbreaks and pig flow biosecurity, managing PEDV and M. hyopneumoniae outbreaks, and preparing for winter through vaccination and immunity-boosting protocols.

Turning Data into Better Decisions: BioCV's Intelligent Monitoring System for Modern Pork Producers

Video: Turning Data into Better Decisions: BioCV's Intelligent Monitoring System for Modern Pork Producers

In this exclusive interview, Jens Kjaer, CEO of BioCV Inc., discusses the North American launch of the BioCV Intelligent Sow Monitoring System and how advanced sensor technology and machine learning are changing the way producers manage sow herds. Using smart ear tags that continuously monitor temperature, behavior, and movement, the system provides real-time alerts for heat detection, farrowing, fever, lameness, and other critical health events—often before they become visible to barn staff.

Kjaer explains how the technology helps producers improve breeding efficiency, reduce non-productive days, identify health challenges earlier, and better support sows during farrowing. He also shares how BioCV's predictive analytics can help operations optimize labor, improve piglet survival, reduce sow losses, and enhance overall productivity in today's increasingly data-driven swine industry.

Learn how this innovative technology is giving producers actionable insights on every sow, every day, helping teams move from reactive management to proactive decision-making while improving both animal welfare and profitability. www.biocv.info/lisa-sow
