A veterinarian and swine specialist says a swine health monitoring program needs more participation from all types of pork producers.
Dr. Neil DeBuse with the Minnesota Swine Reproduction Center says many states participate in a swine health monitoring program through the University of Minnesota, where Dr. Bob Morris gathers data on the Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) and Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea (PEDV) viruses.
DeBuse says large farms already participate in the program, but it would be good if Wisconsin participated in the program, and if more pig show exhibitors got involved.
