Researchers have developed a diagnostic test to identify Glaesserella australis, a bacterium associated with respiratory diseases in pigs. This advancement enables veterinarians and producers to detect the pathogen more accurately, facilitating timely and targeted treatment strategies.
Glaesserella australis has been increasingly recognized as a contributor to respiratory issues in swine herds, impacting animal health and productivity. The new test offers a reliable method for confirming its presence, allowing for improved disease management and control measures.
By incorporating this diagnostic tool into herd health protocols, swine producers can enhance their ability to manage respiratory diseases, ultimately supporting better animal welfare and operational efficiency.
