  • Thank you guys!

    We are a small backyard farm and have a couple sows that we have started with about a year and want to learn and grow with. I love listening to you guys because the vets around here really aren’t knowledgeable in Swine. So the information I am learning here is great!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode #80: The PRRS Puzzle: New Classification to See the Bigger Picture
Q: So, how does this new variant-based classification actually work in practice for a farmer reading a lab report?
A farmer would see a label like 1C5-32 associated with the virus; this tells them it belongs to a specific lineage and sub-lineage (1C) and that the current virus is a distinct variant within that group (5-32 in the example). This is more informative than the old 144 or 144-like codes, and helps determine if it's a new introduction or a drift within an existing strain.
Episode #87: What’s Ahead for Herd Health? Insights from AASV 2026
Q: Are there any new technologies or vaccines that stood out to you?
Yes, Zoetis released a new Iliadus injectable vaccine as a competitor to Merck's, and there was discussion of wearables and camera-based systems to monitor pig health and behavior, though adoption remains gradual and context-dependent.
Episode #87: What’s Ahead for Herd Health? Insights from AASV 2026
Q: How have PERS and PD issues been reflected in the industry since you returned?
There's ongoing activity around PERS and PD with high variability by region and strain; some sites face more challenges in finishing operations, and there's a push toward national or state-level eradication programs, with a focus on improved transport biosecurity and surveillance.
Episode #87: What’s Ahead for Herd Health? Insights from AASV 2026
Q: What did you learn at the AASV conference, Evan, and what was most interesting?
Evan explains that attendees discussed evolving strategies for PERS eliminations, the emergence of newer, more persistent PERS strains, broader discussions beyond vet-only audiences, and potential new tools like vaccines and biosecurity measures. The takeaway is to add new tools to the toolbox and consider different perspectives when approaching eliminations.
Episode #86: Building Pork Demand at the Kitchen Table
Q: How can producers help increase demand for pork domestically?
By focusing on communicating the nutrition benefits, offering practical cooking guidance, and engaging households through relatable, kitchen-table conversations that show pork as affordable, versatile, and protein-dense.
