Feedstuffs in Focus || Unveiling biofilm threats: Safeguarding swine health and boosting farm efficiency

 

In this episode, Feedstuffs in Focus host Sarah Muirhead explores the critical issue of biofilms in waterlines and their hidden impact on swine health and productivity with Dr. Gabi Doughan of the Swine Medicine Education Center. Understanding biofilms can help producers implement better management practices, ensuring optimal water quality and animal welfare.

Dr. Doughan discusses her research on waterline biofilms in swine operations including:
• How biofilms pose significant health risks for pigs
• The importance of testing both source and in-barn water for pathogens
• Why regular cleaning and maintenance practices for water systems are essential
• How beyond health, managing biofilms can improve overall production metrics
• The need for ongoing research to refine management strategies in the swine industry
