Dr. Gustavo Machado: Swine Disease Modeling | Ep. 134

Disease prevention is a very important aspect of successful swine management but sometimes, no matter how good your biosecurity is, diseases find a way to infect the herd. This is why it is helpful to have effective plans in place to minimize the damage done. In today’s talk Dr. Greiner, Dr. Gustavo Machado discusses how swine disease models work, what they will look like in the future, and how they can be effective to prepare for diseases such as ASF infecting our swine herds.
