18-Feb-2022miguel-angel-de-andres-alvaroHello, it´s Miguel Angel, one of the authors. I completelly agree with you, economical and reproductive efficiency don´t match exactly, although is an indicator (a farm with very high reproductive efficiency usually is economical efficient too). And we work to earn money, not to produce more... Unfortunatelly, to get economical data is much more difficult than to get productive data.

25-Jan-2021giancarlo-belluzziI like your Biosecurity scheme. However, I think two things/aspects should be important: education and training of the breeder/farmer and a robust trust in the veterinary consultant based on actions taken (and its results obtained) and not teorethical words. Thanks
