2015 Research Review: Heat impacts boar fertility
2016-01-05 21:25:00| National Hog Farmer
Researchers: J.J. Parrish, K.M. Gibbs, T.M. Loether, K. Yagoda, F. Melo, University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Animal Sciences Seasonal boar infertility occurs worldwide and contributes to economic loss to the pork industry. Summer infertility of boars has been correlated to elevated ambient temperatures and the resulting increase in scrotal temperature. read more

2015 Research Review: Genetic marker may show PRRSV promise
2016-01-05 17:01:00| National Hog Farmer
Researchers: J.C.M. Dekkers, A.S. Hess, Iowa State University Department of Animal Science; N.J. Boddicker, Genesus Inc., Canada; R.R.R. Rowland, Kansas State University Department of Diagnostic Medicine and Pathobiology; J.K. Lunney, USDA- ARS, Beltsville Agricultural Research Center; and G.S. Plastow, L.L. Guan and P. Stothard, University of Alberta Department of Agricultural, Food and Nutritional Science PRRS Host Genetics Consortium aims to identify genomic markers and pathways associated with host response to PRRSV infection; markers that could be used for genetic selection of pigs for increased resistance or reduced susceptibility to the virus. read more

2015 Research Review: Looking for genetic answers in PRRS fight
2015-12-21 19:19:00| National Hog Farmer
Research by John Harding, Carolyn Ashley, Predrag Novakovic and Susan Detmer, all from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Saskatchewan; Andrea Ladinig, Western College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Saskatchewan and the University of Veterinary Medicine, Vienna; Jamie Wilkinson, Tianfu Yang and Graham Plastow, all from the Department of Agricultural, Food and Nutritional Science, University of Alberta; and Joan Lunney, Beltsville Agricultural Research Center, USDA-ARS, Beltsville, Md. Novel findings from the Pregnant Gilt Model will contribute to the development of genetic lines that are more resilient to reproductive PRRSV, helping to mitigate losses in the event of a reproductive outbreak. read more
