April Domestic Swine Disease Monitoring Report Now Available

April 8, 2022 — 

The Swine Health Information Center's (SHIC) April Domestic Swine Disease Monitoring Report is available.

This month's Domestic Swine Disease Monitoring Report brings onboard Influenza A virus RNA detection by RT-PCR data from all five participating veterinary diagnostic labs with a historical summary highlighted on the SDRS bonus page. There was increased activity of PRRSV at a regional level in some particular areas, i.e., Missouri, Nebraska, Illinois, and Indiana. PEDV activity is still above expected levels since the end of January. In the podcast, the SDRS hosts talk with Dr. Brigitte Mason, field veterinarian at Country View Family Farms, Dr. Paul Yeske, veterinarian and partner at Swine Vet Center, Dr. Phillip Gauger, head of the molecular section at ISU-VDL, and Dr. Tara Donovan, leader of the health assurance team at Hanor Company, about recent advancements in PRRSV management, strategic FAD surveillance, low-hanging fruits in biosecurity, and how to take full advantage of diagnostic data for animal health decision making.
