#205 - Feed and its Ingredients: Risk Factors for Virus Transmission and Intervention Strategies - Dr. Scott Dee

Understanding the risk factors for virus transmission associated with feed and its ingredients is vital in the swine industry. Since viral diseases pose a significant threat to swine herds, it is necessary to have effective intervention strategies and robust biosecurity measures. To shed light on these matters, I talk with Dr. Scott Dee, a renowned expert in swine disease management. He emphasizes the importance of feed and its ingredients in disease transmission and highlights the critical priorities of on-farm biosecurity. Also, he discusses the significance of biosecurity protocols for supporting producers in the management of risks on farms and enhancement of biosecurity at the feed mill level.
"Post-processing contamination is where the trouble lies, since viruses infiltrate farms through dust particles, exhaust fans, and contaminated surroundings." - Dr. Scott Dee
