Would pigs be able to figure out what feed to choose in case their amino acid requirements are not met? With that question, researchers at Wageningen University & Research (WUR) in the Netherlands recently set up a trial.

In the ongoing saga where the Netherlands is trying to find a solution for its nitrogen deposition problem, new difficulties have appeared on the horizon in late December 2024. For pig, poultry and dairy producers in this major agricultural country, the situation means even more uncertainty.

Poultry and pork appeared to be in short supply in the Primorsk region, the most populated part of the Russian Far East. A series of African swine fever (ASF) outbreaks registered in this part of the country in the previous years is partly to blame.

Hopefully this is the last time I'll have to write about FMD for a while 🙂. I've made a quick update as to what is the situation with regard to Foot-and-Mouth Disease (#FMD) in Germany. On Thursday there was some degree of panic as perhaps the virus had also entered a goat farm, but that turned out to be false alarm. So today the minister of agriculture in the state of Brandenburg decided to lift the transport ban for #pigs, #cattle, #sheep and #goats with the exception of a 10km radius around the infected farm. At Dairy Global and Pig Progress we keep you informed ⏩ https://lnkd.in/e7Wi-K5N #footandmouthdisease #footandmouth #fiebreaftosa #MaulundKlauenseuche #mondenklauwzeer #mks #cowhealth #cattlehealth #pighealth #swinehealth #dairyproduction #dairyhealth #veterinaryscience #biosecurity #germany

Late 2024 I travelled to northern Germany to attend one of the sessions of the World Tour by Dr. Eckel Animal Nutrition GmbH & Co. KG. Various speakers addressed an audience of animal husbandry experts - and I thought the talk by Prof Dr Wilhelm Windisch of the Technical University of Munich particularly was worth sharing with a wider audience. He discussed the indispensible role of livestock in circular agriculture - an interesting and strong plea. I'm happy he was willing to share his line of thought in Pig Progress as well, so don't wait any longer and tuck in. With obviously a look back to the World Tour event itself too!

Some say that, in order to save the planet, mankind had better focus on becoming totally independent of livestock. Pigs, poultry and cattle, however, have an important role to play in order to achieve a truly circular economy – after all, what to do with leftovers of food production? ➡️https://ow.ly/siC150UIjg1 #Sustainability #Pig #Livestock

Yesterday I was in the necropsy room, but today I've found time for an update on the #footandmouth situation in Germany. So far, no further cases of #FMD have been confirmed in a 1km radius around the water buffalo farm in Hoppegarten, about 20 km east of Berlin, where the virus was confirmed in 3 animals last Friday. And trade should be able to continue as normal outside the infected zones. Read the latest developments at Dairy Global ⏩ https://lnkd.in/etuSSriJ. And obviously, as FMD could also emerge in #pigs, we'll keep you posted at Pig Progress as well. But as water buffaloes have been the only species infected, this pig editor chose to use another water buffalo image. #footandmouthdisease #footandmouth #fiebreaftosa #MaulundKlauenseuche #mondenklauwzeer #mks #cowhealth #cattlehealth #pighealth #swinehealth #dairyproduction #dairyhealth #veterinaryscience #biosecurity #germany
