A comprehensive understanding of the entire production system is essential for the effective selection of influenza vaccines, as Dr. Culhane explains. Effective herd monitoring is a valuable method that aids in identifying the viral strain and predicting its spread in subsequent phases. To gain insights into how this process works, don't miss this episode!The Swine it Podcast Show is trusted and...

Strategic measures are crucial for minimizing the impacts of influenza virus on swine production systems, as Dr. Pittman illustrates. One such approach is the management of sow herds and the replacement of females, coupled with local and/or regional monitoring of virus presence and strains. To understand these effective strategies, tune in to this episode!The Swine it Podcast Show is trusted and...

Passive surveillance through sample collection for diagnosis may not be the most effective approach when it comes to dealing with influenza, as Dr. Pittman explains. Based on his observations, active surveillance, which involves routine monitoring, plays a pivotal role not only in the detection of the presence of influenza, but also in the identification of the specific strain. Do not miss this...

The mingling of various strains of a virus can amplify the mutation of their genes, thereby increasing the likelihood of the emergence of more problematic strains. Dr. Culhane explains how the transmission of different strains and genes through pig flow can accelerate the mutation of influenza viruses and elucidates the mechanisms behind this process. Discover more about this topic in this...

Despite being typically associated with the winter season, influenza outbreaks among swine can also occur in other seasons and potentially be even more severe. Dr. Pittman elaborates on how various factors such as human interactions, co-infections, inadequate ventilation, and wild animal movements can exacerbate the contagiousness of the disease. To learn more about how to manage this disease,...

Dr. Jayaraman recommends producers to consider implementing GAA in swine diets. This contributes to superior performance, increased final body weight, and a better gain/feed ratio, thus improving carcass quality, reducing fat thickness, and allowing a reduction in the amount of energy ingredients. This approach also benefits the growth and development of newborn piglets. Have you listened to the...

The adequate amount of Guanidinoacetic Acid (GAA) plays a key role in maintaining energy homeostasis in cells, resulting in better utilization of nutrients. Feed efficiency, which measures the difference in the responses when using GAA or not, has been widely studied in several trials. According to Dr. Jayaraman, it is possible to observe a significant difference of approximately five to ten...

The role of acetic acid and creatine in animal nutrition, specifically in swine, is a topic of great importance for understanding their physiological functions and optimizing their performance. Acetic acid, a natural precursor, plays a crucial role in the synthesis of creatine, which is essential for maintaining muscular energy homeostasis. In this episode, Dr. Jayaraman delves into the subject...
