US - A mystery virus that has been causing tremors in piglets for decades has now been pinpointed by a team of veterinary researchers from Iowa State University. The virus, which comes from a family known as ‘pestiviruses,’ infects young pigs and can cause them to shake involuntarily.
Boehringer Ingelheim provides three €25,000 grants to fund independent research projects that generate new and practical information to allow a better understanding of this devastating swine disease PRRS (Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome).
US - With the recent increase in porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDv) cases reported this spring, the latest At The Meeting (ATM) with the Morrison Group audio program provides an update on developments in case reporting, effective control steps and immunology in the last year.
US - During the 2015 World Pork Expo in Des Moines, Iowa, veterinarians from two leading swine health and production companies shared their recommendations on how producers can best manage their herds for profitability during tough times.
