Contributions to Animal Welfare in Pig Production: Developing and employing Diagnostic Tools for investigations of Lameness Pathogens

Lameness in pigs is a major welfare challenge in pig farming. Lame pigs often experience pain, and reduced mobility leads to difficulty in reaching food and water. For farmers, this leads to extra work, higher treatment costs, and lost production. Bacterial arthritis is an important contributor t...
