Abstract
Salmonella is a leading cause of bacterial foodborne-related illness and pork products are a...
Abstract
Pigs have become an important model for agricultural and biomedical purposes. The advent of genomic engineering tools, such as the CRISPR/Cas9 system, has facilitated the production of livestock models with desired modifications. However, precise site-specific modifications in pigs through...
Dr. Noelle Noyes received the 2022 McKnight Land-Grant Professorship for her work on Microbes for Sustainable Intensification of Livestock Production. As the human population expands, so does its demand for protein. Livestock farmers must meet this demand, but their land...

New research is bringing us closer to a very worthy goal: understanding what pigs are feeling.
An international team of European researchers has developed an automated system that can interpret the emotions encoded inside the various grunts that...
Abstract
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this case study was to describe the transmission of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) under field and experimental conditions via the consumption of PRRSV-positive swine feed.

Proteins consist of a number of structural components including amino acids. During digestion the bonds holding these components together are broken, hence freeing the individual amino acids to be absorbed into...
Spray dried plasma (SDP) is a highly digestible, high-protein ingredient widely used in feed for weaned pigs. The benefits of SDP on growth performance, gut function, and immunity are well known. Previous studies demonstrated that feeding SDP improved mucosa...
Abstract: Swine-to-Ferret Transmission of Antigenically Drifted Contemporary Swine H3N2 Influenza A Virus Is an Indicator of Zoonotic Risk to Humans
Human-to-swine transmission of influenza A (H3N2) virus occurs repeatedly and plays a critical role in swine influenza A virus (IAV)...
