We help pig farmers use the most effective swine feed so that they can operate profitably, sustainably and with high animal welfare standards. THE CHALLENGES FACED BY THE SWINE INDUSTRY Pig producers face many challenges, including high feed costs and disease outbreaks. The three biggest pressures come from: 1. Facing the sustainability challenge and the requirement to comply with regulations to reduce nitrogen and ammonia emissions. 2. Coping with...

Introduction Molecular serotyping and LS-PCR are valuable and practical tools for Glaeserella parasuis characterization (1, 2). Early in 2020, and due to the forced postpandemic closure, several swine production systems in Peru reported clinical cases of G. parasuis, and a total of sixty-eight qPCR-positive microbiological isolates of clinical cases were obtained over two years. The objective of this study was to identify the circulating serotypes,...
