Expecting More From The Evolution Of Genetics And Nutrition, Part 1 of 3: This episode focuses on the question "What should we expect from the evolution of genetics and nutrition?", with Dr. John Patience (Iowa State University), Dr. William Herring (PIC's Director Of Global Development), and Dr. Uislei Orlando (PIC's Global Nutrition Director).
From the 2019 Carthage Swine Conference, Dr. Andrea Hanson, Nutritionist, Carthage System Professional Swine Management, highlights the issues and concerns with the audience on feed biosecurity and risk mitigation.
'At The Meeting' Honoring Dr. Bob Morrison discusses new research looking at vaccinating pigs for porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) at weaning, comparing 1 dose vs 2 doses.
Dr. Montserrat Torremorell (College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Minnesota), Dr. Gordon Spronk (Pipestone Veterinary Services), and Dr. Tom Wetzell (Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica) are joined by Dr. Daniel Linhares (College of Veterinary Medicine, Iowa State University) and Dr. Cesar A. A. Moura (College of Veterinary Medicine, Iowa State University) to look at new research comparing one dose vs two dose PRRS vaccination programs at weaning, the economic impacts, and benefits to swine health.

In this second episode of two part series, 'At The Meeting' Honoring Dr. Bob Morrison looks at how the lessons of PRRS can be applied in to the future to help tackle other diseases.
Dr. Montserrat Torremorell (College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Minnesota), Dr. Tom Wetzell (Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica), and Dr. Gordon Spronk (Pipestone Veterinary Services) are joined by Dr. Scott Dee (Pipestone Veterinary Services) and Dr. Reid Philips (Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica) to look into the future on how knowledge learned from PRRS can help in other areas.
In this first episode of a two part series, 'At The Meeting' Honoring Dr. Bob Morrison looks at the lessons learned and milestones made in the history of PRRS.
Dr. Montserrat Torremorell (College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Minnesota), Dr. Tom Wetzell (Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica), and Dr. Gordon Spronk (Pipestone Veterinary Services) are joined by Dr. Scott Dee (Pipestone Veterinary Services) and Dr. Reid Philips (Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica) to discuss what has happened over the last 30 years of PRRS, what milestones occurred, and what lessons were learned.
Dr. Merrill and Mr. Trinity look into addressing this question: What affects willingness to invest in biosecurity and willingness to follow biosecurity protocols? Using a simulation approach with agent based modeling, they offer insight into how farm operations staff might behave in certain situations [video].
Dr. Joe Connor, President and founder of Carthage Veterinary Service, LTD, shares his thoughts on "African Swine Fever Impact on the Markets – Past, Present, and the Future" at the 2019 Carthage Swine Conference.
Dr. Connor reminds the audience that the economic impacts of African Swine Fever getting into the USA would not only impact US pork production but also US corn and soybean production.
Keith Wilson, DVM, senior professional service veterinarian at Boehringer Ingelheim, shares how custom vaccines are created and what pork producers should expect when custom vaccines are needed on their operations.
"Adjuvants are the biggest variable that impact vaccine performance," said Dr. Wilson. "Nearly everything else within a killed vaccine is fixed, such as the antigens and routes of administration."
Unlike commercial killed vaccines, custom-made vaccines give producers and veterinarians the option to select an adjuvant that can help solve their herd’s health challenges. Determining the optimal adjuvant to use in a vaccine is critical, because different adjuvants have different abilities when triggering immune responses.
Feeding The PIC Sow, Part 3 of 3: This episode on farrowing and wean to estrus feeding programs with Dr. Steve Dritz (Kansas State University), Dr. Uislei Orlando (PIC), and Dr. Marcio Goncalves (former PIC nutritionist and Founder at Swine.It ).
