SHIC-FUNDED MSHMP LAUNCHES NEW WEBSITE

The Morrison Swine Health Monitoring Project, funded in part by the Swine Health Information Center, continues to monitor trends in pathogen incidence and prevalence. Now, a new MSHMP website optimizes the project’s information sharing ability for both the participant and swine industry communities at https://mshmp.umn.edu/. MSHMP staff say the website represents a significant milestone in their mission to enhance collaboration and communication within the swine industry.

The website contains 10 sections, including Home, About, History, People, Reports, Outreach, Ongoing Projects, News, Resources, and Contact Us. Project participants and industry stakeholders will find easy access to MSHMP outputs as it facilitates effective communication and dissemination of crucial information.

MSHMP staff understands the value of comprehensive and reliable information together with balanced data interpretation. For those seeking to stay up to date with the most current official announcements and developments, the site includes links to web pages of official institutions. For additional insights, specialized content and different perspectives, links to collaborators web pages are also included.

Cleaning Sheep Barns & Setting Up Chutes

Video: Cleaning Sheep Barns & Setting Up Chutes

Indoor sheep farming in winter at pre-lambing time requires that, at Ewetopia Farms, we need to clean out the barns and manure in order to keep the sheep pens clean, dry and fresh for the pregnant ewes to stay healthy while indoors in confinement. In today’s vlog, we put fresh bedding into all of the barns and we remove manure from the first groups of ewes due to lamb so that they are all ready for lambs being born in the next few days. Also, in preparation for lambing, we moved one of the sorting chutes to the Coveralls with the replacement ewe lambs. This allows us to do sorting and vaccines more easily with them while the barnyard is snow covered and hard to move sheep safely around in. Additionally, it frees up space for the second groups of pregnant ewes where the chute was initially.
