September Domestic Swine Disease Monitoring Report Now Available

September 6, 2023 — 

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

This month's Domestic Swine Disease Monitoring Report brings Purdue Animal Disease Diagnostic on board to the SDRS. The addition was a request from swine stakeholders, increasing the laboratory network contributing to the project. Also, the report brings information about the historical lowest PRRSV-positivity in the wean-to-market category (26%). However, regional PRRSV activity is above expected in Illinois and Ohio. For enteric coronaviruses, a slight increase in positivity from sow farms was detected in August. Regional PDCoV positivity is above the expected in Kansas; PEDV in Missouri, and North Carolina. For Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae and PCV2, the positivity in wean-to-market category had a substantial increase in August (MHP- 15% to 21%; PCV2 - 34% to 43%). In the confirmed tissue diagnosis database, there were alarms for an increased number of coccidiosis cases.

In the podcast, the SDRS hosts talk with Dr. Craig Bowen about Purdue ADDL contributions and motivations to join the SDRS project as well as expected benefits for swine stakeholders.
