Articles and insights from every episode.

Learn how estrus synchronization, ovulation timing, fixed-time AI, labor planning, and pig flow affect breeding herd efficiency in swine production.

Learn how E. coli type, host receptors, genetic resistance, microbiome development, and targeted vaccination affect post-weaning diarrhea control in pigs.

Trace minerals are included in very small quantities, but their effect on animal performance is not small. Copper, zinc, manganese, iron, iodine, and selenium support enzyme systems that influence growth, metabolism, immune function, and tissue integrity. The practical challenge is that modern swine diets must prevent deficiency while also avoiding unnecessary mineral loading, ingredient interactions, and environmental losses.

Learn how PRRS elimination methods can be matched to herd goals, farm structure, economics, and regional disease-control conditions.
