Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus (PEDV) continues to pose significant challenges to swine producers worldwide, causing devastating economic losses through high mortality rates in piglets and reduced performance in growing pigs. However, emerging research demonstrates that nutritional
Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus (PEDV) continues to pose significant challenges to swine producers worldwide, with devastating economic impacts that can reach $100,000 per 1,000-sow herd during outbreaks. While traditional biosecurity measures focus on vehicle sanitation, personnel
Sustainability in poultry production has evolved far beyond environmental buzzwords to become a critical economic imperative. With feed representing up to 80% of production costs, the intersection of sustainable practices and profitability has never been more crucial for modern poultry
As feed-borne viral transmission becomes a more recognized threat to swine operations worldwide, producers are seeking actionable strategies to protect their herds. These five proven solutions for viral contamination in complete feed and feed ingredients provide evidence-based approaches
The swine industry has undergone a dramatic shift in understanding viral disease transmission pathways. Research into PEDV and PRRSV transmission through feed has revealed that these pathogens can survive and spread through feed ingredients in ways that fundamentally challenge traditional
In recent years, microbiome research has exploded across many fields, particularly in poultry production. As producers face increasing pressure to optimize bird performance while reducing antibiotic use, understanding how the gut microbiome influences broiler growth has become essential
