Breeding animals are typically raised under high health conditions in nucleus herds, but their offspring are often exposed to multiple disease challenges in commercial production facilities. Because breeding animals are not exposed to many common swine pathogens, it is difficult to select for resilience to disease. A possible solution is selecting for levels of natural antibodies (NAb), which can be measured in a high health environment and in this study are shown to correlate with disease resilience and to be heritable (h2 = 0.11 to 0.39). Therefore, breeding for increased NAb levels in clean conditions could be a valuable method to improve resilience and decrease mortality in market pigs. Work is ongoing to verify the potential of this prediction.

The conventional and organic milk prices are one of the most important factors when comparing profitability of the various dairy systems. The organic milk price changes but is more stable than conventional milk prices. In both years of this study, conventional milk prices were relatively lower than than a more typical 3-5 year milk price time frame. A further analysis would be appropriate to show comparative system profits with milk price correlation over a longer period.

It was observed that diets with high sulfur and molybdenum decreased markers of copper, selenium, and manganese after 90 d. In a 62-d trace mineral repletion period, steers receiving an injection of Multimin90 had the most rapid improvement of copper and selenium status by d 14, while it took 28 d and 42 d for copper and selenium status to improve in steers supplemented with 150% of national recommended concentrations from either an inorganic and organic blend, or only inorganic trace minerals. Further research is needed to understand the optimal trace mineral supplementation strategy to overcome dietary antagonisms without creating economic loss for producers.
