This study is especially important as Influenza mutates quickly, forcing health authorities to develop new vaccines each year.

The launch comes at a time when pig producers worldwide are grappling with the challenges of managing early-life stress in piglets, particularly during critical transition periods, such as weaning.

In parallel with the Enhanz launch, NutriQuest also unveiled AcidLyte during the World Pork Expo, a swine hydration and gut health product aimed at improving piglet vitality and resilience.

GLOBAL – A major step in the fight against African swine fever (ASF) was taken this year as the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH)…

Fourteen countries reported ASF in 2023, but that number dropped to thirteen in 2024 after Sweden regained ASF-free status.

Pigs have already been vaccinated and will be challenged with a virulent strain of the ASF virus to assess the vaccine’s efficacy.

The approval allows Genus to commercialise its PRRS-resistant pigs, dubbed PRP, for the U.S. market, though sales are not expected until 2026 at the earliest.

The Philippine Department of Agriculture recently launched a new ASF vaccine research centre at Central Luzon State University to strengthen the nation’s biosecurity infrastructure.

ASF has devastated pig populations in parts of Asia, Europe, and Africa in recent years and controlling its spread is a top priority for the global pork industry.

This innovation has the potential to significantly reduce the economic losses caused by ASFV in the global swine industry.
