Abstract
Diagnostic reports of biological samples submitted from farms are essential to correctly identify any underlying issues in a herd, including disease and improper nutrition. Proper sample collection, handling, and storage are critical to most accurately diagnose health complications or nutritional status. When possible, sample pigs before they eat, keep tissue samples frozen, avoid hemolyzed blood samples, and minimize transport time to the diagnostic laboratory. Concerns regarding sample collection and storage can be addressed with a veterinary diagnostic laboratory.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Swine Health & Production (JSHAP) is an open-access and peer-reviewed journal published by the American Association of Swine Veterinarians (AASV) since 1993. The aim of the journal is the timely publication of peer-reviewed papers with a scope that encompasses the many domains of applied swine health and production, including the diagnosis, treatment, management, prevention and eradication of swine diseases, welfare & behavior, nutrition, public health, epidemiology, food safety, biosecurity, pharmaceuticals, antimicrobial use and resistance, reproduction, growth, systems flow, economics, and facility design. The journal provides a platform for researchers, veterinary practitioners, academics, and students to share their work with an international audience. The journal publishes information that contains an applied and practical focus and presents scientific information that is accessible to the busy veterinary practitioner as well as to the research and academic community. Hence, manuscripts with an applied focus are considered for publication, and the journal publishes original research, brief communications, case reports/series, literature reviews, commentaries, diagnostic notes, production tools, and practice tips. All manuscripts submitted to the Journal of Swine Health & Production are peer-reviewed.
