Health advantages of transition to batch management system in farrow-to-finish pig herds [PDF]
, 2012 Sow batch management systems have become more popular due to advantages in labour planning, piglet batch sizes, all-in all-out practices and health management. The present study investigated the potential health advantages of 10 selected farrow-to-finish

Impacts of rodents in piggeries in Australia – review and pilot impact study
Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 3, Page 2177-2189, March 2026.Rodent impacts in Australian piggeries are under‐researched, with limited data on economic losses and control costs. A review and pilot study found average losses of AUD$100 000 annually. Key concerns include disease, damage, and control expenses.

Shared and unique microbes between Small hive beetles (Aethina tumida) and their honey bee hosts
MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2019., 2019 Honey bee‐associated bacteria were identified from the small hive beetles, which may facilitate the beetle thriving in the bee hive. At the mean time, the honey bee virus colonize and replicate in SHBs, dispersion of host virus by social parasites to floral resources and hives, providing additional threats to honey bees and other insects.

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.The transport of live pigs poses a risk to on‐farm biosecurity. Trucks can carry pathogens with significant economic and health impacts, including antimicrobial‐resistant (AMR) bacteria. This study aimed to investigate the microbiological contamination of trucks before and after loading, focusing on AMR bacteria and other major pathogens transmissible ...
