Abstract
Nutrients in agricultural runoff may cause offsite environmental impacts. The objective of this investigation was to examine nutrient transport by overland sheet flow on sites containing swine slurry. Data examined in this study was collected during field rainfall simulation...
Introduction: Energy is a primary component of swine diets, contributing to growth, maintenance, reproduction, and lactation. Optimizing energy levels in feed formulations is essential for improving production efficiency while maintaining animal health. This technical paper examines the role of...
Swine Influenza A Virus (IAV-S) imposes a significant impact on the pork industry and has been deemed a significant threat to global public health due to its zoonotic potential. The most effective method of preventing IAV-S is vaccination. While...
Abstract
The swine and agriculture industries have consistently been searching for increased methods for improving efficiency. This study addressed this concern through measuring sow activity traits and lesions in order to identify associations with lameness and gilt retention. Culled females...
