Swine
Differentiated health solutions focused on improving swine health and farm sustainability.
Supporting Swine Health through Disease Control
Swine diseases significantly impact the health and productivity of pigs, often leading to significant economic losses for farmers. Understanding and managing these diseases is crucial for maintaining a healthy swine population.

Piglets
- Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) and Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (M. hyo) are infectious agents causing two of the top 5 diseases impacting swine production.
- Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) is one of the top 5 major diseases in swine production and one of the most significant health risks for pigs worldwide.
- Lawsonia Intracellularis also known as porcine proliferative enteropathy (PE), causes ileitis, a common and costly gastrointestinal disease.
- Streptococcus Suis (Strepsuis) causes streptococcal disease in pigs, which is an endemic problem mostly recognized by neurological clinical signs associated with meningitis, stiff joints, and mortality in the post-weaning phase.
