AASV Committee Meetings
7:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Web-based PRRS Risk Assessment Training for the Breeding Herd
7:30 AM - 12:30 PM
Coordinator: Dr. Derald Holtkamp

Fee: No charge
Limit: 20 participants (AASV membership required)

This training will guide you through the use of the web-based PRRS Risk Assessment known as the Production Animal Disease Risk Assessment Program (PADRAP). PADRAP allows you to view benchmarking reports immediately after submitting an assessment.

Three ways veterinarians have applied the PRRS Risk Assessment:
* Evaluate current biosecurity protocols and/or develop new biosecurity protocols to avoid risk
* Communicate risks and the importance of biosecurity procedures to clients or production personnel
* Aid in the decision to initiate a project to eliminate PRRSV from a breeding herd site and identify modifiable risk factors in an effort to increase the likelihood that an elimination project will be successful long-term.

This session is open to AASV member veterinarians who have not previously used the PRRS Risk Assessment, as well as those who have previously been trained on the spreadsheet version. Please bring a laptop capable of accessing the Internet via wireless connection using one of the following web browsers: Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome or Internet Explorer.

Co-sponsored by AASV and the National Pork Board

In 2011, AASV and the National Pork Board partnered to train veterinarians as Operation Main Street (OMS) speakers, with a goal to help focus pork industry outreach efforts to professional veterinary associations, schools of veterinary medicine, and veterinary technical colleges.

To date, the program has 90 OMS-trained veterinarians who have presented at 26 of 30 schools of veterinary medicine. Overall, more than 150 OMS speeches have been scheduled, with an audience reach of 9,900. This training updates participants on what activists are saying about agriculture today, and will provide attendees with the needed tools and presentations to address those concerns in a science-based, proactive manner. The objective is to equip veterinarians to speak to veterinary students and professional groups including veterinary associations and dieticians. Unless otherwise indicated, presentations will be made by Al Eidson.

Seminar #6: Blisters and Quarantines, No Exports - Oh, My!
Seminar chair: Patrick Webb
Moderator: David Pyburn

We are not in Kansas anymore, Dorothy! African swine fever is on the move in the EU, and classical swine fever lurks as close as the Caribbean. There are more countries with foot and mouth disease than there are without, and the poultry industry has just experienced the biggest foreign animal disease (FAD) outbreak in US history. This tornado of disease activity combined with the ever-increasing global commerce of people, products, and inputs for production means one thing: we better have our house in order before the big one hits! So put on your ruby red slippers and follow the yellow brick road to this seminar to learn about cutting-edge FAD response strategies and the important role you play in early disease detection, rapid response, and managing production when faced with an FAD that shuts down trade and commerce.

Seminar #9: Tools to Improve Feed Efficiency and Reduce Feed Cost
Seminar co-chairs: Mike Tokach and John Patience

Attendees will leave with tools and knowledge to improve swine feed efficiency to lower feed cost for swine producers. Diet, health, stress, barn management, and other factors will be addressed. Field research results will share how factors such as DDGS source, particle size, pellet quality, marketing, and sow feeding impact pig growth and feed efficiency.

8:00 Feed and other factors that drive feed efficiency
John Patience

Like so many things in pork production, feed efficiency is a multi-factorial outcome. It is influenced by the pig’s diet and by barn management. Dietary factors and barn management factors will be discussed, all leading to a summary checklist on improving feed efficiency at a practical level.

8:45 Gut mechanics during stress: How feed efficiency and growth can be influenced
Adam Moeser

To optimize performance of pigs under health challenges, we need to understand how the stressors impact intestinal function. Who better to do that than Dr. Adam Moeser, the world-renowned expert on gut physiology and how it is impacted by stressful events?

9:30 BREAK

10:00 Latest field research on feed efficiency
Bob Goodband

Dr. Goodband will highlight numerous field projects with feeding DDGS of different oil levels, particle size, pellet quality, marketing, and sow feeding, and how growth and feed efficiency is impacted.

10:45 Tools to help clients evaluate and improve feed efficiency
Mike Tokach

Tools will be shared and discussed that can be used to help calculate the value of several factors that influence feed efficiency including energy and amino acid levels, particle size, pelleting, pellet quality, feed additives, temperature, stocking density, topping market pigs, etc. We believe these simple tools provide an excellent opportunity to run “what if” scenarios for real-time questions. Tools include a feed efficiency calculator, space calculator, DDGS value calculator, and iodine value calculator.

11:30 Roundtable Q&A
All speakers

Seminar #10: Swine Medicine for Students
Seminar co-chairs: Angela Supple and Jeremy Pittman

The student pre-conference seminar is designed to provide swine-specific information that students may not receive in their veterinary curriculum. This year we will return to a consistently requested topic that many students feel deficient in upon graduating: medication. Specifically, the seminar will address the ever-changing regulations around use of medications in swine/food animals, and the options on how to calculate water medication for use in populations of pigs. In addition, the ever-popular interactive case(s) will return in this seminar, where small groups of students use the information they learn in the seminar to walk through specific “real-world” cases.
