"Any virus with systemic circulation or affinity for reproductive tissue is likely to be shed in semen."

Understanding the shedding potential of viruses in semen is critical in preventing reproductive failures and downstream disease transmission. Dr. Reicks underscores the importance of recognizing systemic and reproductive-tropic pathogens as serious threats in boar studs. This insight helps shape targeted testing protocols and risk management strategies for swine producers.

🚫 MYTH BUSTED: Pork lacks vitamins and minerals.

Just 3 oz of lean pork delivers roughly 50 % thiamin, 34 % niacin, 30 % vitamin B6, and 25 % vitamin B12 & zinc, plus high-quality protein, phosphorus, and potassium; serious nutrient density on your plate. Fuel your body, not the myths. 🐖

"Identifying facility design flaws early and correcting them prevents years of unnecessary labor and frustration."

Persistent inefficiencies, such as misaligned gates or poor boar flow, compound over time and cost thousands in labor hours. Taking time to assess and implement solutions early on pays off in both productivity and employee morale. Facilities should prioritize proactive problem-solving as part of their standard operating procedures.

Learn how Dr. Reicks approaches facility optimization on The Swine it Podcast Show.

“The advantage of the gut health markers is that they help understand what’s happening inside the animal at a given point in time.”

Gut health biomarkers provide an internal snapshot of the physiological state of swine in response to feed strategies or environmental changes. Unlike historical KPIs, these markers enable timely interventions, reducing reactive management.
