Pig production is the systematic rearing of pig breeds on scientifically based management principles for economic benefit. The main objectives of pig production are to provide consumers with pig meat and related products and to generate income for farmers.
Pig production plays a significant role in the livestock industry, providing an important source of protein and other valuable products. The systematic approach to pig rearing ensures that the pigs are healthy and well-cared for, which in turn leads to better quality products and higher yields. The focus on scientific principles and efficient management helps to reduce waste and increase profitability for farmers.
A swine producer who masters the art of good management has excellent profit opportunities. This is especially true with disease prevention and control. A healthy herd of good-growing, quality breeding animals — adequately fed and housed — provides maximum profit opportunities for the owner who does not over-spend for facilities and/or feed.

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,...
