The Swine Health Information Center and American Association of Swine Veterinarians invite you to participate in a new webinar, Practical Approaches for Transportation Biosecurity, to be held on Tuesday, February 18, 2025. The webinar will begin at 11:00 am and conclude at 12:30 pm CT.
Webinar presenters will provide producers and their veterinarians practical and applicable information focusing on transport biosecurity strategies for swine disease prevention and control. As part of SHIC’s mission to protect and enhance the health of the US swine herd, the organization has funded research on novel approaches to transport biosecurity and supports the broad sharing of information for producers to implement on-farm.
Presenters:
Dr. Edison Maghales, Iowa State University – Evaluating alternative livestock trailer cleaning methodologies to manage the risk of PEDV introduction
Dr. Ben Blair, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign – Cost effective trailer cleaning & disinfection based on PEDV prevalence and system connectivity
Dr. Gustavo Machado, North Carolina State University – Rerouting vehicles as an alternative strategy for transport biosecurity
Dr. Pete Thomas, Iowa Select Farms – Implementation of transportation biosecurity for PEDV control
This webinar, hosted by SHIC and the American Association of Swine Veterinarians, is conducted by the Swine Medicine Education Center at Iowa State University.
The Swine Health Information Center, launched in 2015 with Pork Checkoff funding, protects and enhances the health of the US swine herd by minimizing the impact of emerging disease threats through preparedness, coordinated communications, global disease monitoring, analysis of swine health data, and targeted research investments. As a conduit of information and research, SHIC encourages sharing of its publications and research. Forward, reprint, and quote SHIC material freely.
