The SDRS podcast has been running since April 2022 and is released monthly. Ranging from 20 to 30 minutes in length, the podcasts feature discussion among SDRS investigators and guest experts.
Each episode highlights diagnostic data trends, emerging pathogens and their implications for the swine industry while making complex findings accessible and practical for veterinarians, producers and students.
SDRS monitors and reports diagnostic data for 10 primary swine pathogens. Additionally, over 50 confirmed porcine diseases from tissue cases are covered.
Swine veterinarians, producers, researchers and industry stakeholders from around the globe all tune into the podcast
“By sharing timely insights in this accessible way, the podcast has become a key channel for connecting with the industry and supporting informed decision-marking,” Quyen Le said. “Our goal is to ensure that diagnostic trends are not only available, but also meaningful and useful in everyday decision-making.”
SDRS is a collaborative project funded by competitive grants from the Swine Health Information Center and the USDA. The report aggregates diagnostic data from multiple U.S. veterinary diagnostic laboratories, monitoring across the United States while focusing on states that have more than 2 million pigs.
