The Swine Health Information Center and American Association of Swine Veterinarians webinar series focuses on "industry chatter" relating to swine health. Practitioners may benefit from hearing about how others are dealing with these emerging or difficult-to-manage health issues.

The August edition of the Swine Disease Reporting System reported a large jump in the number of coccidiosis cases coming into the Iowa State University Veterinary Diagnostic Lab during July. With limited therapeutic options, management strategies become even more important. All are invited to a webinar on coccidiosis in swine being held on Thursday, Sept. 3 from 1 to 2:30 pm CDT.

The webinar will include Jeremy Pittman, Smithfield Hog Production – North Region, and Amber Stricker, Suidae Health and Production, sharing their experience with coccidiosis including management design, strategies and interventions. Kent Schwartz, Iowa State University Veterinary Diagnostic Lab, will share clinical presentation and diagnostic information and Robert Friendship, University of Guelph, Ontario Veterinary College, will provide a Canadian perspective as well. Registration is available here.

The webinar will be recorded and posted on the SHIC website as well.

SHIC 2020 webinar series
The December 2019 viral myelitis webinar and a webinar on hemorhagic tracheitis on April 2 provided information on these two syndromes: their clinical presentation and signalments, tissues for postmortem assessment and management. Both webinars were recorded and are available on the SHIC website for review. The intent of the webinars is to inform practicing veterinarians and share information about current emerging or difficult to manage swine health issues. The plan is to respond in a timely manner to questions and cases practitioners face, providing resources as well as other veterinarians' discussion and experience. If you have ideas for webinars, please share those with SHIC Executive Director Paul Sundberg by emailing [email protected].

As the world deals with the COVID-19 pandemic, SHIC continues to focus efforts on prevention, preparedness and response to novel and emerging swine disease for the benefit of U.S. swine health. SHIC is funded by America's pork producers to fulfill its mission to protect and enhance the health of the U.S. swine herd.
