    Tail biting - Why do pigs bite tails?

    Why do pigs bite tails? That is a topic that is still very badly understood – it’s one of the multifactorial problems. Increasingly, however, it becomes clear that gut health also has a role to play in this web of cause and effect. In this podcast, Dr Franz Lappe of Vivet veterinary practice in Germany, and Dr Cecilie Kobek-Kjeldager, Aarhus University, Denmark, explain their views on this topic.

    Why employees stay

    A very relevant question in the pig industry: Why do employees stay? And why would they decide to leave? It’s all about paying enough attention to these matters – and it is exactly this type of question that got the interest of emeritus professor Larry Firkins, attached to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He is a veterinarian who developed a special interest in management matters and how culture in a pig-related work environment can help building a more pleasant work atmosphere. He will discuss this matter with host Vincent ter Beek, editor of Pig Progress.

    A deep dive into the world of M. hyo

    Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae causes lung infections characterised by a low mortality, but high morbidity. This results in a higher FCR, lower daily growth, higher risk for secondary infections and increased treatment costs. Although M. hyo has been the topic of much research, its pathogenesis is still not completely clear, immune responses after infection and vaccination need to be further investigated. In this podcast host Vincent ter Beek of Pig Progress discusses the PhD study of Dr Evelien Biebaut, attached to Ghent University in Belgium, who spared no effort to learn more about how the bacteria behaves and how it can be controlled. Dr. Biebaut will tell you all about it.

    Homogenising pig growth

    Consulting economist Lance Mulberry is based in Missouri, USA. He shares his opinion about the pig industry’s tendency to focus on average to evaluate on-farm economic performance. He will address problems related to that tendency: it ignores variation and suggests that the underlying distribution is a normal. That way using averages will result in hidden costs, having many implications for the industry. His plea is to apply a more precision based approach
