Video: Modernizing Biosecurity: Ensuring Swine Health and Productivity - Dr. Luc Dufresne

Swineherd health is a pressing concern across the globe, and stringent biosecurity measures have been implemented to maintain the robustness and productivity of pig populations. In this episode, I spoke with Dr. Luc Dufresne. Our conversation highlights the shift towards biocontainment for a more dynamic approach, emphasizing a two-way disease prevention strategy—addressing both incoming and outgoing risks. He warns against macro-level biosecurity pitfalls and stresses the importance of understanding disease epidemiology. He advocates for adaptable, science-based strategies rather than blindly adhering to tradition.
