The objective of this research is to characterize air contaminant concentration and variability associated with differing swine rearing practices.

During 2008–2012, a total of 90 cases of trichinellosis were reported to CDC from 24 states and the District of Columbia.

Biosecurity is a useful measure to promote the reduction of antimicrobial use in the pig industry.

The findings revealed that medium-sized to large farms located in high pig density regions reported higher biosecurity measures.

It is generally believed that biosecurity measures in pig production improve performance and health status of the pigs, but limited quantitative data is available to support this hypothesis.

Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of disinfection protocols on porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) in 1:61 scale model livestock trailers and determine the infectivity of PCV2 DNA detected using a bioassay.

The objective of this research was to quantify the likelihood of PRRSV transmission via aerosol as a function of exposure dose. This data is critical to understanding of airborne transmission of PRRSV between pigs, within herds, and between herds.

Area regional disease control (ARDC) strategies are an important tool in the swine industry due to the ability of many swine diseases, most notably PRRS, to spread by methods other than direct animal contact.
