Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Swine Disease Management:
Research on the epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases affecting pigs, particularly focusing on viral, bacterial, and parasitic infections. - Animal Welfare and Behavior:
Studies evaluating the impact of management practices on the welfare and behavior of pigs, including housing conditions, handling, and environmental enrichment. - Reproductive Health:
Investigations into factors affecting reproductive performance in sows and boars, including hormonal treatments, nutritional influences, and genetic factors. - Biosecurity and Farm Management:
Exploration of biosecurity measures and management practices that mitigate disease risks in pig production, with an emphasis on sustainable practices. - Nutritional Health:
Research on the effects of dietary components on pig health, growth performance, and disease resistance, including studies on feed additives and nutritional supplements. - Veterinary Interventions and Treatments:
Innovative approaches to veterinary care in swine, including pharmacological treatments, vaccination strategies, and alternative therapies.
Trending and Emerging
- Vaccine Development and Efficacy:
An increasing number of studies are focusing on the development and evaluation of vaccines against prevalent swine diseases, including PRRSV and swine influenza, reflecting a critical need for effective disease control measures. - Antimicrobial Resistance:
Research on antimicrobial resistance in swine pathogens is gaining traction, as the industry seeks to address public health concerns and improve on-farm biosecurity measures. - Gut Health and Microbiome Research:
Emerging studies investigate the role of gut health and the microbiome in swine productivity and disease resistance, emphasizing the importance of nutrition and dietary interventions. - Technological Innovations in Swine Management:
There is a notable trend in the application of technology in swine management, including the use of artificial intelligence for monitoring health and reproductive performance. - Sustainable and Ethical Practices:
Research focused on sustainable farming practices and animal welfare is on the rise, reflecting broader societal concerns about the environmental and ethical implications of pig farming.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Antibiotic Use:
There has been a noticeable decrease in studies focusing on antibiotics for disease prevention, likely due to increased scrutiny and regulations surrounding antibiotic use in livestock. - Invasive Surgical Procedures:
Research on invasive surgical techniques in pigs has waned, potentially as a result of a shift toward more non-invasive and welfare-friendly management practices. - Environmental Impact Studies:
While still relevant, specific studies addressing the environmental impacts of pig farming practices have become less frequent, possibly overshadowed by immediate health and welfare concerns. - Single Pathogen Focus Studies:
The trend of focusing on individual pathogens has declined, with a shift towards more comprehensive studies that consider multi-pathogen interactions and their effects on swine health.
