Sow mortality: When and where? (2/2)
To reduce mortality, it is essential to diagnose the causes. To do so, we must answer four basic questions: how, who, when, and where? In this article, we'll address the latter two.

Are we using the best samples and techniques to monitor PRRS absence in boar studs?
The biocidal properties of silver nanoparticles are of interest in the context of increasing antibiotic resistance. What are their uses?
In this second installment, we cover extracting the tongue, trachea, lungs, and heart in one piece. We will extract the organs of the abdominal cavity, both the digestive system and the urinary and genital tracts. In the head, we will access the nasal turbinates, brain, and cerebellum.
Modulation of the microbiota seems to influence the presence of S. Suis and the expression of its virulence factors.

What laboratory diagnostic methods can I use to diagnose FMD? Which one should I choose according to the situation? How do I interpret the results?
Doctoral thesis from the Veterinary Medicine and Animal Sciences Department, Università degli Studi di Milano (Italy), advised by Luciana Rossi.
Detection of lung lesions in slaughtered pigs also allows estimation of economic losses.
We have developed a practical and visual swine necropsy manual.
This new section, coordinated by the pathological anatomy team of the University of Cordoba, Spain, will show us, in a very visual and practical way, how to perform a necropsy on a pig.
A case study on identifying and addressing entry-related biosecurity hazards on a sow farm.
In the end, depopulation was the option to reduce mortality and the excessive use of antibiotics in the nursery and subsequent phases.

PRRS creates frustrating challenges as it seems we have to keep learning the same lessons we already know, along with the occasional new chapter.
Too often a single sequence information is used to make important conclusions regarding virus source, especially for new PRRS outbreaks, guiding outbreak investigations, and future interventions.
Neonatal diarrhoea is a serious problem for farmers and vets. Affected piglets can develop severe diarrhoea from 1–2 h to 7 days following birth.

Let’s have a look at some common biosecurity myths and how standardized outbreak investigations can help to improve biosecurity outcomes.
This work establishes the parameters of normality in various cardiac parameters of healthy pigs and compares them with those of diseased animals. Final thesis at the Department of Veterinary Medicine, UAB, Spain, advised by Joaquím Segalés.
The evolution of multi-site pig production over the last 25 years has not held true to its original intent.
The knowledge and the experience of the veterinarian are important, but not enough. The most valuable information will be provided by the farmer, because they know their pigs and many details that the veterinarian may not see or know.
The detection of a pathogen alone is not sufficient for elucidating the aetiology behind neonatal diarrhoea outbreaks. The diagnosis of neonatal diarrhoea is one of the most challenging ones in daily pig practice.
