Swine Veterinary Technical Advisor at Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health Spain - Spain Author

Born in Cartagena (Murcia, Spain) in 1989. Graduated in veterinary medicine from the University of León in 2015. Did a year-long stay in Mexico with the Amicus Scholarship.

After finishing my degree, and experiencing the world of small animals in several clinics in Cartagena and Caravaca de la Cruz, I worked for the Association of Sanitary Defense of pigs in Fuente Alamo de Murcia (ADESPOFA), for 3 years (2016-July 2019).

After my position as technical manager of the association, I decided to focus on the world of swine production, obtaining a position in Agropecuaria Casas Nuevas, Grupo Francés (Fuente Álamo) as a production veterinarian, working in both phases of swine production (breeding sows and nursery/finishing) for three years.

Currently, I have been working as a Technical Veterinary Advisor for swine at Boehringer Ingelheim for one year. Regarding continuing education, I would like to mention the Veterinary Audits in Biosecurity Course and Animal Welfare in Intensive Livestock Farms.

Clinical case: Edema disease - The more I medicate, the more pigs die!

An outbreak of edema disease was treated with fasting and antibiotic therapy, but in subsequent batches these measures were no longer successful. The outbreak progresses and it was observed that when animals are medicated, either orally or parenterally, mortality increases both in number and speed.
