“There is no such thing as normal diarrhea.” This comes from someone who has dedicated nearly 40 years to controlling and establishing immunity to ileitis, a leading cause of diarrhea in pigs. 

Host Sarah Muirhead speaks with Dr. Nate Winkelman from Swine Services Unlimited about practical strategies and lessons learned for controlling Lawsonia.

They discuss: 

• Costs of Lawsonia  to a system
• Why ileitis is so endemic in the swine industry
• Types of diagnosis and treatments
• The future of ileitis control
