Antimicrobial resistance surveillance among swine respiratory disease pathogens remains low (opens the original)
Read excerpt
New 2025 surveillance data from Zoetis shows very low antimicrobial resistance among key swine respiratory disease pathogens, supporting responsible antibiotic use. Since 1998, Zoetis has been conducting antimicrobial resistance surveillance for swine respiratory disease (SRD) and bovine respiratory disease. More than 28 years of susceptibility data continues to successfully help guide veterinarians on which antibiotics are best suited to treat specific respiratory pathogens in swine. The most r
Resilience or resistance? On commercial swine farms, the answer is both (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Why resilient and disease-resistant pigs are the key to greater robustness, consistency and profitability in commercial pork production Commercial swine herds face pressure every day. The question is, how should genetics advance to support consistent, predictable performance? For PIC, the answer is robustness – where resilience and resistance intersect. What kind of pig is best equipped for commercial production? Typically, answers circle back to a pig that can manage disease pressure and produc
Newcastle Disease in Europe: the one-serotype protection strategy against Genotype VII (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What producers need to know about vaccine protection, vaccination execution and transmission control. After decades of relative silence, Newcastle Disease (ND) has returned to the forefront of European poultry industry with alarming speed. Early 2026, ND cases were reported in western European countries which used to be calm like Germany which had not seen ND for the last 30 years. And in early September, Hungary officially confirmed the presence of ND in Fülöpháza, Bács-Kiskun County (Kecskemét
Early warning signs of rising mortality in pig production: what to watch before it's too late (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Why the mortality figure only tells half the story, and which signals appear first Mortality is the clearest signal that something has gone wrong in a pig house, but it's also the last one to appear. Before mortality climbs, pigs are often already drinking differently, growing more slowly, or living in a house where temperature, humidity, or air quality has quietly drifted off course. On their own, these shifts can look minor. Together, and tracked over time, they show that conditions are changi
Poultry mortality is a lagging indicator – what should poultry producers watch instead? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Mortality is a lagging indicator in poultry production. It shows a problem after it has already harmed the birds. Producers can catch issues earlier by monitoring water consumption, temperature, humidity, CO₂ and ammonia for deviations from normal patterns. The goal isn't to replace mortality as a KPI, but to catch developing problems before mortality reflects their full cost. "Where a lagging indicator like mortality confirms that a problem has already occurred, an early indicator — such as a d
