Practical tip

• If you see nursery pigs with uncoordinated front legs (walking on knees), please call your herd veterinarian for further investigation.
• Great care and vigilance are still important with any contact to high-risk sites such as assembly yards and slaughter facilities. These contacts may spread disease to your pigs with vehicles or people returning from the sites.
• If you see increased abortions or sudden deaths — please have your herd veterinarian consider rule-out testing for ASF.
