After some backyard hogs in Oregon State contracted the bird flu, the Swine Health Information Center has its guard up. The highly pathogenic avian influenza is not the only animal disease that the center is watching, but it's new on the list since it was found in a few pigs in October. Associate Director Lisa Becton says SHIC has a new H5N1 Research Program and is seeking proposals.  Becton also updates the Mid-West Farm Report on the Japanese encephalitis virus research. Finally, she highlights the Wean-to-Harvest Biosecurity Program that investigates research priorities in three areas – bioexclusion (keeping disease off the farm), biocontainment (after a break, keeping disease on the farm to lessen risk to neighbors), and transportation biosecurity (live haul, culls, markets, deadstock, and feed haul along with innovative ways to stop pathogens from moving from markets and concentration points back to the farm). The goal of the program is to leverage funds to develop new tools and technologies that can enhance biosecurity in the wean-to-harvest phases of swine production.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There are a number of health challenges that are prevalent in pig production – and we know that biosecurity is the name of the game when it comes to disease prevention. Some diseases seem to evade even the strongest biosecurity plans and this can be frustrating for producers and their veterinarians as they try to achieve optimum care for their herds. Porcine respiratory and reproductive syndrome is a disease that has circulated in the swine world for years – however a recent highly pathogenic strain of this virus is challenging pig herds. Dr. Doug MacDougald, a swine veterinarian working out of Southwest Ontario Veterinary Services has worked with producers in North America who have experienced outbreaks of this highly pathogenic PRRS strain – 144 Lineage 1C – and shares some case studies and practical tips for disease prevention.
