High-risk groups, including recently processed piglets, newly farrowed sows and injured animals, should receive additional scrutiny.

Producers can quickly become overwhelmed trying to turn large volumes of data into something meaningful for their operation. In some cases, that complexity is enough to discourage them from using data at all.

Goal is to use both historical and real-time production data to align nutrient supply with pig requirements at the group level.

The days of collecting volumes of data from your swine operation and wondering what to do with it “someday” are largely past.

Micro-ingredients such as amino acids, trace minerals and vitamins are globally sourced, including from regions reporting FAD outbreaks.

Your new nursery pigs have one job: To eat and grow. Your task is to manage their environment in such a way to minimize stress as they adjust to a different social structure and a solid diet.

Partnering the right vaccine with sanitation and hygiene measures can head off a lot of headaches in your farrowing space.

Good feed execution means one thing: getting the right feed, in the right amount, to the right pigs at the right time every day, on every farm.

Not removing shoes in the proper spot or showering in incorrectly before entering a farm. Not properly sanitizing your lunch when coming into work on the farm in the morning. Letting wean pigs you’re loading for transport come off the trailer back into the farm.

These are some everyday ways swine producers can breach biosecurity protocols.

Streamlining deliveries and managing biosecurity risks that comes with supply deliveries can be narrowed down to a few key habits.
