Taking a deep dive into Porcine circovirus type 2 genotyping, what is truly driving clinical disease in today’s swine population? Dr. Fernando Leite, Associate Director of Technical Marketing at Boehringer Ingelheim, addresses this question during the Industrial Partners Session in his presentation titled, “Investigation of porcine circovirus type 2 genotype D in US swine populations and its association with clinical disease.” Ayva Bohr, a second-year veterinary student at Iowa State University, interviews Dr. Leite to explore the three key questions that emerged from this research and to examine the practical implications of these findings for veterinarians and producers.

Why do some water medications fail, even with correct drugs and dosages are selected? In her presentation, "Water Line Royal Flush: Winning Strategies for Water Medication Delivery", Dr. Gabi Doughan emphasizes that successful water medication depends on much more than the drug itself. Factors such as water quality, medicator calibration, system design and dosing practices all influence whether pigs actually received the intended treatment. Nikki Villalon, a third year veterinary student at Iowa State University, interviewed Dr. Doughan about her presentation during the Practice Tips Seminar at the 57th AASV Annual Meeting. Dr. Doughan, who is a swine veterinarian and researcher, discussed the common pitfalls in water medication delivery such as unstable drug mixtures, inaccurate medicators and biofilms within water systems. Listeners will come away with practical tips for evaluating water quality, calibrating medicators and optimizing swine water systems to ensure medications are delivered effectively and responsibly on farm.
