248 Machine learning models to predict real-time mortality outcomes in commercial wean-to-finish pig barns Open
The adoption of precision livestock farming is steadily increasing in the United States swine industry due to the availability of innovative sensors, microphones, and cameras for automatic surveillance of pig barns. Wean-to-market mortalit…

66 A novel analytical method for identifying periods of increased mortality in individual wean-to-finish pig barns Open
Mortality rates in all phases of pork production have increased over the past several years. Decreasing mortality rate is of utmost economic importance to producers, especially in weaning-to-finishing pigs where additional investment in fe…

Proposed modifications to porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus herd classification Open
A standardized system for classifying the porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) status of swine herds is necessary for communication between veterinarians and producers. The 2011 classification system has been widely …

Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae Surveillance in Pig Populations: Establishing Sampling Guidelines for Detection in Growing Pigs Open
Antemortem detection of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae infection in swine production systems has relied on antibody testing, but the availability of tests based on DNA detection and novel diagnostic specimens, e.g., tracheal swabs and oral fluid…

Survival of swine pathogens in compost formed from preprocessed carcasses Open
An introduction of a Foreign Animal Disease (FAD) like African Swine Fever Virus (ASF) would be financially devastating. For example, ASF, a highly contagious pathogen with high mortality rates, is a World Health Organization reportable di…

Grinding of swine mortality for compost under cold weather conditions for viral elimination Open
The elimination of a foreign animal disease requires an efficient means of disposal for infected or exposed mortality and carcasses. Limited studies have been performed on the monitoring of swine viruses over time in compost piles, and thi…

Effect of litter aggregation and pooling on detection of porcine reproductive and respiratory virus in piglet processing fluids Open
A sampling technique has been validated to monitor porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus 2 (PRRSV-2) using the serosanguinous exudate known as processing fluids (PFs) that accumulate from tissues obtained during tail docking …

Modeling the spatio-temporal dynamics of porcine reproductive & respiratory syndrome cases at farm level using geographical distance and pig trade network matrices Open
The result of this study reinforces the importance of pig trade in PRRS transmission in the US. Methods and results of this study may be easily adapted to any production system to characterize the PRRS dynamics under diverse epidemic setti…
