Are you underestimating your gilt's diet?

New research shows that increasing lysine, a limiting amino acid in swine diets, by 40% can stimulate the development of mammary tissue and lead to better future milk production in sows.

What can producers do to protect their pigs from African Swine Flu?

Early detection is critical for reducing risk. However, clear signs of ASF are difficult to identify early.

In Benchmark Magazine, we explore an enhanced passive surveillance tool developed by the U of Minnesota Center for Animal Health and Food Safety

Learn how this tool can help detect early signs and alert producers when there is suspicion of disease ⬇

Studies show there might be a new tool for swine producers looking to reduce respiratory disease in their barns.

A new smart barn technology, created by SoundTalks NV, uses artificial intelligence, algorithms, and in-barn audio to detect signs of respiratory disease earlier than conventional methods.

Early detection can reduce the spread of disease in barns and have long-term favorable economic impacts for producers.
