2014-12-08 01:00:00| ThePigSite - Industry News
GLOBAL - Among the lessons to be learned from the spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N8 in Asia and Europe, the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) is recommending a strengthening of animal disease surveillance worldwide. Russia has applied trade sanctions on Belarus, blaming the country for poor control of African swine fever, while the Canadians attribute their success against porcine epidemic diarrhoea so far to high farm biosecurity and pig movement tracking.

ClimateWire: Migration and feeding is difficult for local reindeer during a critical time of year, as their vegetation food source became encapsulated in ice. In the winter of 2012, the Svalbard archipelago was hit with an extreme weather event of record-breaking heat and rain--a slush avalanche knocked out bridges and roads. Reindeer carcasses littered the landscape, as permafrost warmed and snow-dependent tourism took a major hit. Now, a group of scientists documenting the aftermath of the two-week event...
