Episode Synopsis

“African swine fever is a very slow disease...we have the experience during outbreaks that not all pigs become infected”
Dr. Tomasz Trela, the technical manager for swine in Central and Eastern Europe at Boehringer Ingelheim's regional centre in Vienna, shares his personal observations of European and Asian sow farms suffering an outbreak of African swine fever. This first episode covers on-farm lessons regarding the recognition and diagnosis of the disease; in a further Meet The Expert podcast he discusses implications for biosecurity at farm level.
