The National Pork Board Swine Disease Research Task Force has identified three research priorities for requests for proposals related to pathogen management and prevention. Submission Deadline: October 18, 2024.
The Swine Disease Research Task Force has identified three research priorities for requests for proposals. Endemic enteric disease continues to challenge the industry on a day-to-day basis and knowledge gaps related to inactivation of pathogens in manure and field-based diagnostics provide an opportunity to advance the swine industry. With industry discussions on a potential Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDv) elimination plan, the need for a comprehensive literature review has been identified. The task force has identified these gaps through discussion with producers, veterinarians and subject matter experts. The National Pork Board continues to support producers by utilizing Pork Checkoff dollars to identify and address knowledge gaps.
