Introduction
Food loss and waste (FLW) represent one of the most significant failures of our global food system. It is estimated that 33 to 40 % of global food production is lost or wasted along the entire supply chain, from...
What if a PCR test could give us some information regarding the viability of the pathogen targeted? This new publication from the MycoLab led by Dr.s Albert Canturri and Maria Pieters, is sharing the development of a new mRNA-PCR...
Abstract
Describing PRRSV whole-genome viral diversity data over time within the host and within-farm is crucial for a better understanding of viral evolution and its implications. A cohort study was conducted at one naïve farrow-to-wean farm reporting a PRRSV outbreak....
Abstract
Indirect transmission of influenza A virus (IAV) contributes to virus spread in pigs. To identify farm management activities with the ability to contaminate farmworkers’ hands and clothing that then could be a source of virus spread to other pigs,...

Highlights
•
Two strategies were evaluated for Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae gilt acclimation.
•
M. hyopneumoniae detection and seroconversion were assessed in gilts over time.
•
Similar M. hyopneumoniae detection pattern was observed regardless of gilt flow.
•
M. hyopneumoniae seroconversion was similar regardless of gilt flow.
...
Today, we are sharing a recent publication from the MycoLab investigating how two different gilt flow managements during acclimation impact Mycoplasma detection. The full publication is available on the journal’s website.

ABSTRACT
A longitudinal study was conducted to assess the impact of different antimicrobial exposures of nursery-phase pigs on patterns of phenotypic antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in fecal indicator organisms throughout the growing phase. Based on practical approaches used to treat moderate...
