Welcome to “Talkin’ About Pigs” – a podcast where individuals from the Swine Medicine Education Center (SMEC) discuss swine health topics over coffee. Each podcast episode covers a different swine health question from a pork producer! We keep the topic producer oriented, with the goal of bringing pork producers relevant information that they can bring back to the farm.

Today’s podcast covers Mycoplasma hyorhinis a bacterial infection in pigs that causes disease in pigs ages 3-10 weeks. Publications discussed in the podcast can be found at the links below:
