April Domestic Swine Disease Monitoring Report Now Available

April 3, 2024 — 

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

This month's Domestic Swine Disease Monitoring Report brings the new influenza A virus state-level monitoring dashboard. The newly implemented tool aids veterinarians and producers in identifying if the percentage of influenza A positive cases is above expected in their region on a monthly basis. Also, the report brings information about the wean-to-market positivity remaining high for PRRSV, with some regions such as Iowa and Indiana having a percentage of positive submissions above the expected. For enteric coronaviruses, PEDV and PDCoV positivity decreased during March, mainly in the wean-to-market category. However, in the state-level monitoring, the overall positivity is above the expected for PEDV in Kansas and PDCoV in Minnesota and Missouri. Influenza A virus substantially increased positivity for the wean-to-market farm category, whereas 51% of the IAV-positive cases were lung submissions.

In the podcast, SDRS hosts talk with Dr. Peter Schneider (Innovative Agriculture Solutions) about managing animal health in highly dense areas.
