B The picture of PRRS is "cloudy" b As further developments in monitoring and reporting strategies continue to evolve, so does the picture of PRRS. Family oral fluids are to verify the PRRSv activity in weaning-age pigs, serum is ideal for completing whole genome sequencing and tongue tips are for assessing vertical transmission." RNA detection in tongue tips has similar sensitivity to that of process fluids, serum and family oral fluids. [Extracted from the article]

I hope this quick look at what today's boar studs consider just standard biosecurity will help you consider how you can boost your farm's biosecurity this year. Year after year, boar studs typically have the lowest disease outbreak levels of any type of farm we manage. Coming from the University of Illinois, these fact-filled information sheets provide a host of how-to tips and lists for everyone who works in or on a pig farm to be knowledgeable about and follow, per your farm's biosecurity plan.

The obstacle may be large and may feel overwhelming but it provides you with focus - to be successful the obstacle must become the way forward and you must focus your energy and resources on overcoming the obstacle. The dawn of a new year is often accompanied by improvement goals. Every healthy sow farm in the United States is planning to hit 30+ pigs per sow per year in 2023 and the most common barrier toward that success is disease. [Extracted from the article]

That shifting workforce dynamic is a huge opportunity for producers who invest in training their staff and adopting innovations that require a sophisticated workforce to implement the new technology. When I'm searching for perspective on the current state of our pork production industry, my thoughts always end up drifting toward my Grandpa Johnson. We feed corn and soybean meal to the pigs to produce pork, we harvest the waste created by the pigs and apply it to nearby fields to sustain the crop production and produce new crops for new batches of pigs.

Even if the vaccine is proven to be safe and efficacious there are vaccine production hurdles to overcome in developing the capability to grow the vaccine virus to scale to meet the potentially massive number of doses requested by affected countries. While I'm no expert in global vaccine approval processes, I have to imagine the scrutiny of an ASF vaccine candidate may be even higher than normal processes, extending the timeline and increasing the cost of vaccine approval in each situation.

If you are an avid reader of ag magazines, by now you've surely come across multiple articles that show preconditioning your calves leads to a price premium, but it can help the cow-calf operation with health, too. Vaccines alone not preconditioning Keeping calves after weaning also necessitates some other management techniques that can benefit the feeder and the cow-calf producer.

After my blog from last month regarding how much cattle facility a person may need, I received a follow-up question that was more specific in regard to cattle chutes. A quality chute should have ample footing so cattle do not slip while in the chute. [Extracted from the article]

It costs a lot more money when it's put into a new Silverado or a Mustang, but even in something as rudimentary as a cattle facility it still costs money. If you artificially inseminate those cows, preg check in the fall, do a round of scours shots, and then work calves spring and summer, that's seven trips the herd makes through the chute.

I've got a feeling that the person who came up with the phrase "cash cow" never ran cows. The difference in the high and low prices for cull cows is measured in a couple or a few hundred dollars, while for replacements the difference is measured in several hundred dollars. To create a herd of cash cows, once a cow has a problem, fix it and then sell her. [Extracted from the article]

For example, how often have you heard someone boast their calves are "50 pounds more than average" this fall, or 100% of their cows bred? The reason for choosing these three is they are closely related to profitability - how many cows are bred, how many of those cows weaned a live calf and how big were those calves. Calves will be light weight if they were born late, which means you need to tighten up your breeding season, or if the grass was too short to support good calf growth. [Extracted from the article]

For the employer, you've got to invest significant resources in recruiting high quality interns, on-boarding those interns, ensuring their work gives them solid exposure to your business and asking them for feedback on how to further improve the experience for future interns. If interns have a bad experience you'll be doing damage to your recruiting efforts for both future interns and employees for years to come. Countless professionals were hired and without doubt, the retention of our former interns was superior to retention of new employees who hadn't had the benefit of the "extended working interview" the internship provides.

While our industry has evolved dramatically since my younger days when I ran through the packed halls of national or state exhibitions and trade shows, the format of those shows has largely remained constant. It is our hope that this adjustment in exhibition show format helps our attendees, sponsors and exhibitors find value in attending making them just as excited to attend in 2023 as they were in 2022. While we still plan to have the classic exhibition show look and feel with booths to check out and sponsors to chat with, we're intentionally creating social networking opportunities that immediately follow the conclusion of the technical symposium.

The Brinker Farms management style not only empowers employees, but also ensures they are successful with retaining key farm staff. While the Carthage System was built to help family farms cost effectively grow in the pork industry through the ownership of sow shares, we understand there are many models in which producers can develop a successful pig farming business. Again, following the Brinker Farms model of delegating and empowering, for existing contract growers who have built new barns Kenny and his team may not have ever been through those facilities. A proud set of growers with great, long term relationships, Brinker Farms feel confident in their ability to grow the contract grower network by word of mouth. [Extracted from the article]
