At the Meeting Podcast’s Post

What is the true cost of Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea (PED) for swine producers? Dr. Pete Thomas provides insight into the economic strain PED places on producers, estimating an annual loss of $1.15 per pig for Iowa Select Farms. This impact ripples through the production process, leading to everything from delayed market weights to higher mortality rates. Iowa Select has managed to cut these losses substantially by focusing on biosecurity measures and strategic planning—demonstrating the financial benefits of proactive disease management. This example underlines the importance for producers to grasp the financial burden of endemic diseases like PED. Effective prevention strategies not only boost herd health but can also lead to meaningful cost savings. Tune into the latest episode of "At The Meeting" with Dr. Pete Thomas to hear more about addressing PED’s economic effects, now available on all major platforms.
