In this interview, Jay Halliday of Vaxxinova US discusses how advanced diagnostic technologies are helping pork producers better identify, monitor, and respond to disease challenges within their herds.
Unlike traditional diagnostic methods, WGS enables the identification of multiple pathogens within a sample, supports surveillance of emerging variants, helps evaluate feedback programs, and improves isolate selection for autogenous vaccine development.
The conversation also explores the importance of customized vaccine solutions and the role of adjuvants such as Amplivac™ and Trigen™ in enhancing immune responses against key swine pathogens.
