The Swine Health Information Center’s (SHIC) July Domestic Swine Disease Monitoring Report is available.
This month’s Domestic Swine Disease Monitoring Report brings PEDV PCR genotyping information onboard, providing stakeholders with knowledge on how many samples have been tested, detection of the non-Indel variant (historically more pathogenic), the Indel (considered a milder strain), and samples that had the detection of both. Also, the report brings information about the decrease in PRRSV positivity in June, reaching less than 40% positivity in the wean-to-market submissions. At a regional level, PRRSV’s overall positivity is still above the expected in South Dakota and Indiana. For enteric coronaviruses, PEDV and PDCoV positivity decreased during June, and PDCoV positivity was as low as 1.3% of overall submissions. At the regional level, the PEDV overall positivity is above the expected in Kansas and Ohio. PCV3 and PCV2 had increased positivity in the sow farm category, whereas 65% of submissions were positive for PCV3 and 34% were positive for PCV2.
The podcast hosted a talk with Dr. Deb Murray (New Fashion Pork) about farm management and animal health tips for the summer period and strategies for E.coli control upper and downstream.
