In this episode, I had the opportunity to welcome Dr. Jette Christensen to discuss very interesting topics about epidemiology and swine health surveillance. In addition to being a veterinarian and holding a Ph.D. in epidemiology, Dr. Jette has incredible practical experience, from her work in the Danish swine industry to her current work with the Canada West Swine Health Intelligence Network. Throughout this episode, we will understand how it works, what the objectives and challenges of Canada's Intelligent Network are, in addition to understanding the differences between work in Danish and Canadian pig farming. Listen now and take advantage of all the knowledge available.

“I just want to emphasize again and again that Canada West Swine Health Intelligence Network would not exist without the engagement and the participation from all the practitioners, from the laboratories and of course the funding from the provincial poor boards and governments.”
