Health Management Overview

• Work Closely With Farm Vet

• External Bio-Security – Identify & Prevention

• Internal Bio-Security – Identify & Manage

• Improving the Environment

• Motivating as it will be an increasingly bigger issue with consumers

Page 5: The Added Value of Diagnostics In Managing Respiratory ... · The Added Value of Diagnostics In Managing Respiratory Disease On Farm By Colin Marry June, 8th 2016 - Dublin

External Bio-Security

• Rear Own Replacement Gilts (PCV2 route)

• Deliver Dead Stock to Rendering Plant (Mycoplasma route)

• 48 Hours Pig Free

• A.I. Station Who Follow Agreed Protocol (PRRS Testing)

• Water Quality

• Dedicated Lorry

Page 6: The Added Value of Diagnostics In Managing Respiratory ... · The Added Value of Diagnostics In Managing Respiratory Disease On Farm By Colin Marry June, 8th 2016 - Dublin

Internal Bio-Security

• Monthly Vet Visits; Walk Through Unit

• Delivery of Dead Pigs to Diagnostic Labs

• Lung Scoring at Factory

• Rope Testing to Monitor Vaccine Efficacy

Page 7: The Added Value of Diagnostics In Managing Respiratory ... · The Added Value of Diagnostics In Managing Respiratory Disease On Farm By Colin Marry June, 8th 2016 - Dublin

Internal Bio-Security – Enhanced

• Gent University Work & Biocheck Program

• Teagasc Pig Development Department

• Weighting and measuring impact

• “Showering into a farm is not important if you ignore more important steps; of which there are many.”

Reviewing Internal Biosecurity

• Balance Controls with Management

• Focus on Higher Risk Parts:

- Dead Pigs

- Sick Pigs

- Newborn Pigs

Page 16: The Added Value of Diagnostics In Managing Respiratory ... · The Added Value of Diagnostics In Managing Respiratory Disease On Farm By Colin Marry June, 8th 2016 - Dublin

Environment: Reducing Stress at Weaning

• Moved in at 14 Days Post Farrowing

• Sows Weaned at 30 Days

• Piglets Stay in Room Until 95 days of age

• Reduces or eliminates many of the stressors at weaning

Page 17: The Added Value of Diagnostics In Managing Respiratory ... · The Added Value of Diagnostics In Managing Respiratory Disease On Farm By Colin Marry June, 8th 2016 - Dublin

Initial Results

• Slightly More Over-Lays.. but

• Less Natural Deaths; Less Intervention

• Growth On a Par

• Sows On Heat as Normal Post-Weaning

• Looking to Sequence Microbiota to Check if it is More Diverse Compared to Traditional System

Future

• “Consumer Confidence is Key to Success” – Prof Patrick Wall

• Demand for Antibiotic Free Meat

• Be Able to Supply that Consistently: Need to Understand Health of Pigs; Diagnostics Vital
