Domestic pig production, unlimited imports of feed ingredients, the import of piglets and fattening pigs, and the ability to sell pork on the international market have transformed Germany from a major importer of pork to a major exporter within 30 years. When exporting excess meat becomes a challenge, economic problems begin. Professor Emeritus Hans-Wilhelm Windhorst drew this picture on pages 6-8.
A research project called "Family Feeding Issues" aims to develop an innovative feeding concept for sows and piglets to make them more in line with their natural behavior. The innovative part of the research is applied to new feeding systems and new feed types. The article on pages 10-11 investigates the results.
On page 13, Dr. Casey Bradley, President of Sunswine Group, discussed functional nutrition and suggested combining the data islands we obtained from production, feed mills and veterinary diagnosis to create a functional nutrition map for the pig industry.
On pages 14-15, correspondent Philippe Caldier summarized Patrick Chevillon's recent speech at Sommet de l'Elevage in France, where he discussed the production and value of whole boar meat.
Compared with ten years ago, the performance of the swine flu virus is even more whimsical. What is the impact of this pathogen? How can pork producers reduce the risk of infection? The article on pages 16-17 explores the answers.
In an interview on pages 18-20, Nauwynck expressed his disgust with the accusation that modern animal husbandry is the cause of all epidemics, and emphasized that the way the veterinary industry controls the virus is an example of human virology. "If the Covid-19 virus only occurs in the pig industry, it may not spread as fast in humans as it is now."
On pages 24-26, Pig Progress editor Vincent ter Beek visited a French pig farm with 430 sows and a growing-finishing farm with 2,000 fattening pigs 2 kilometers away from the road. Here, pig producer Frédéric Baudet tried out Selffeeder GFI, an Adderva version of an electronic sow feeding (ESF) station with built-in weighing function.
Salmonella infections in pigs can become worse in stressed animals, so controlling the stress level of pigs has a direct impact on public health. Read more on pages 28-29.

In the European Union, a 20-year ban on the use of animal by-products as feed for pigs and poultry is being lifted. By 2027, the market for animal protein feed ingredients is expected to reach US$280 billion. On pages 31-32, correspondent Treena Hein researched what this means and what might limit its use.
The culling rate due to claudication is estimated to be as high as 35%, and as sows become looser during pregnancy, farrowing pens may disappear, and the quality and integrity of paws becomes more and more important. How can nutrition help improve claw quality? Read more on pages 34-35.
Weaning is a stressful event, which is known to weaken the immune system. Escherichia coli remains one of the most economically significant and complex challenges in the global swine industry today. This article found on pages 36-37 delves into the extent to which nutritional solutions can provide solutions.
Of all animal species, pigs are most sensitive to the negative effects of harmful toxins. Although acute mycotoxin poisoning in pigs is relatively rare today, mycotoxins may be present in low doses and cause subclinical health problems. Pages 38-39 of this Alltech article detail the effectiveness and management of mycotoxin challenges.
On page 42, Irene Camerlink, an interdisciplinary researcher focusing on pig behavior, welfare, and production, reveals that farms increasingly need to develop livestock action plans when natural disasters occur or evacuation is required. She also outlines 7 considerations for mitigating potential risks. Steps.
