Swine Dysentery: an old disease with new challenges

The National Pig Association in the UK considers swine dysentery a significant, emerging concern for the pig industry. The disease is caused by strongly hemolytic Brachyspira species and can have a serious economic impact on the fattening industry.

In this webinar, Dr. Judith Rohde will provide an overview of the disease and its pathogen. Treatment and prevention strategies will be discussed. There will be a special focus on the current state of knowledge regarding weakly hemolytic B. hyodysenteriae and the design of surveillance programs.
​​​​​​​
This live webinar will include a Q&A session, giving you the opportunity to ask your questions and gain further insights. 
You can watch the webinar on your computer, tablet or mobile phone.
