Hypor dam lines: Health
Íñigo González explains the biosecurity measures taken in Hypor genetic nucleus and multiplication farms.

With a sensitivity and specificity comparable to that of PCR, LAMP reaction can be done on-site in the field for practical “Point-of-Care” results with minimal waiting.
The gut-lung axis: New tools for improving the control of PRRS virulence and persistence at farm level.
This article presents the main characteristics of the vaccines that can be found on the market.
Do we really comply with the order of farm visits as indicated by the biosecurity protocols?
You can also facilitate your work using our Water Medication Calculator to perform the calculations.
What laboratory diagnostic methods can I use to diagnose atrophic rhinitis? Which one should I choose according to the situation? How do I interpret the results?
Are you aware that using certain medications in acidified water may limit their efficacy? Do you know the pH of the water before starting a medication in water?

Previous articles addressed genetic criteria and proper management guidelines. In this article, Tim Snider, Regional Director for Veterinary Services at PIC Europe, explains the basics of PIC's health program.
What causes can lead to increased feed conversion ratio and mortality with worsened average daily gain?
Autogenous vaccines fill the gaps left by commercial vaccines. The fact that they use on-farm strains makes them very specific and versatile.
Should we be worried? Read the on-farm accounts of how this mosquito-borne virus caused reproductive issues and perinatal mortality in China.
What can produce an increase in the feed conversion ratio and mortality without affecting average daily gain?
What if this novel vaccination route could easily be incorporated into current animal husbandry practices and protect animals against disease?
What can produce an increase in the feed conversion ratio and worsen average daily gain without altering mortality?
We conclude this two-part series by Professor Pejsak by examining how immune stress affects the pig's body, gut, and production.
What can cause an increase in the feed conversion ratio of pigs without altering mortality or average daily gain?
What exactly goes on in a pig's body when exposed to acute or chronic stress? What implications does stress have on production? Professor Pejsak draws on decades of research to answer to explain.
Consider these factors when deciding to eliminate or control PRRSv.
We present the results of a recent study assessing the frequency of disease associated with S. suis infections and the main costs associated with the disease in three of Europe's main pig-producing countries.
The goal is set in Danish pig production - By 2025, 75% of all finishers will be PRRS seronegative at slaughter. This will be achieved by a close corporation between veterinary authorities, the pig industry, slaughter companies, veterinarians and producers.
What laboratory diagnostic methods can I use to diagnose parvovirus? Which one should I choose according to the situation? How do I interpret the results?
You've probably heard that one of the ways the ASF virus can enter a country is through contaminated food. Here's why it's so risky.
In this second article Antonio Vela, Francisco José Pallarés, and David Espigares answer questions about the diagnosis, monitoring, and eradication of pleuropneumonia caused by Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (App).
The Hungarian PRRS eradication program is based on a territorial approach as it is the only approach by which the infection or reinfection of PRRSV-free pig herds can be avoided with high probability.
The biosecurity ring analysis method is applicable on any type of farm and offers an overall perspective that helps us make organized and rational decisions.
Here are things to keep in mind when interpreting a positive or negative ELISA result.
We asked Antonio Vela, Francisco José Pallarés, and David Espigares about pleuropneumonia caused by Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (App). In this first article, we will talk about the evolution and control of the disease.
Feed represents approximately 60% of the costs in pig production. It is therefore very important to have a good feed conversion ratio.
How well do you understand ELISA testing? This is how it works, what it detects, and how to interpret results.
In this last article of the series, we discuss management strategies and the vaccines available to control swine influenza.
