SwineCast update for February 18, 2010, Answering Your Neighbors And Legislators Following CBS' Antibiotic Ag Use Story
Submitted by John Blue on February 19, 2010 - 9:02am.
Tag terms:
Winter has for many years meant Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) breaks. This year at several midwestern conferences there are efforts to use the reduction in swine numbers as a base to work a PRRS eradication effort into place. Empty houses simplify depop-repop programs.
At SwineCast.com, presentations like those at the Boerhinger-Ingelheim Chicago PRRS Symposium provide the informational background for such efforts. Also, Dr Scott Dee has been offering information on these programs which you can see at Keeping Disease off the Farm and PRRS Eradication Update.
Scott is a regular guest of SwineCast and has been an advocate of PRRS Eradication since his stint as president of the American Association of Swine Veterinarians.
Keep an eye towards Washington as HR 1549 (Slaughter bill to require re-registration of antibiotics) remains a concern for our industry. Conversations with NPPC’s Dr Jen Greiner lays out the reasons we must stay on our toes. A recent two-part presentation by CBS News failed to fully convey the issues. We’ve provided a quick link to an American Feed Industry Association article for talking points for reference.
Tough times breed innovative solutions and this certainly qualifies.
