PigV$^2$: Monitoring Pig Vital Signs through Ground Vibrations Induced by Heartbeat and Respiration [PDF]
, 2022 Pig vital sign monitoring (e.g., estimating the heart rate (HR) and respiratory rate (RR)) is essential to understand the stress level of the sow and detect the onset of parturition. It helps to maximize peri-natal survival and improve animal well-being in swine production.

, 2019 Local pig breeds are adapted to the specific local environment and fed with various locally available feedstuffs. Besides their genetic merit for agro-biodiversity, they represent the basis for sustainable local pork chains. The present chapter aims to present history and current status of the Basque pig breed, its exterior phenotypic characteristics ...

Modelling control strategies against Classical Swine Fever: influence of traders and markets using static and temporal networks in Ecuador [PDF]
Preventive Veterinary Medicine Volume 205, August 2022, 105683, 2021 Classical swine fever (CSF) in Ecuador is prevalent since 1940, pig farming represents an important economic and cultural sector. Recently, the National Veterinary Service (NVS) has implemented individual identification of pigs, movement control and mandatory vaccination against CSF, looking for a future eradication. Our aim was to characterise the pig
