Pros and cons of rendering carcass disposal systems, alkaline hydrolysis, anaerobic digestion, gasification, and homogenization.
Pros and cons of the most used carcass disposal systems: burial, composting, incineration, and rendering. Impacts on environment and biosecurity.
Do outbreaks in the same farm have a similar time-to-stability? What factors can affect time-to-stability?
71% of the farms reporting a PRRS break today will report a break within the following two years. What makes them more susceptible?
Dr. Robert Morrison created the Swine Health Monitoring Project in 2011 and, after his tragic loss, in May 2017 the program was renamed.
