Abstract
Two experiments were conducted to test the hypothesis that apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of gross energy (GE), digestible energy (DE), and metabolizable energy (ME) in pistachio shell powder are not different from those in soybean hulls when fed...

Introduction
Continued improvements in genetic selection and management have enabled the U.S. pork industry to be extremely successful in...
Water is often referred to as the forgotten nutrient when it comes to raising swine. Most often water quality is an afterthought addressed only when it becomes an immediate concern. Water is the number one resource animals need to...
Background & Objectives
Porcine Circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is a ubiquitous virus that can lead to significant production losses in all of its clinical manifestations: PCV2 systemic disease (PCV2-SD), PCV2 reproductive disease (PCV2-RD), porcine dermatitis and nephropathy syndrome (PDNS)
and subclinical...

Highlights
Companion animal veterinarians had lower disease-reporting knowledge.
Large animal veterinarians had higher knowledge of biosecurity practices.
Discrepancy between veterinarians’ attitudes and practices was identified.
Training improved disease risk perception, reporting, and biosecurity practices.

Swine Influenza A Virus (IAV-S) imposes a significant impact on the pork industry and has been deemed a significant threat to global public health due to its zoonotic potential. The most effective method of preventing IAV-S is vaccination. While...
Abstract
Background Reduction of the particle size of corn increases energy digestibility and concentrations of digestible and metabolizable energy. Pelleting may also reduce particle size of grain, but it is not known if there are interactions between particle size reduction...
