INTRODUCTION
\n\u2022 The VIDO Swine Technical Group (VSTG) is comprised of people with expertise in many aspects of pork production. The group has previously published numerous practical production publications and has now developed an on-line database of information that focuses on economically important swine diseases.
\n\u2022 The ability to access new information is a key determinant in a successful business.
\n\u2022 This new internet-based information tool provides detailed information from credible sources including scientific journals, proceedings, and technical papers.
\n\u2022 Topics you will find in the DISEASE MATRIX include economically important diseases to the industry with six major areas of concern including understanding the disease, environmental controls, nutrition, pig management, prevention & treatment, and economics.
\n\u2022 Attendees at the Banff Pork Seminar 2006 will receive the first public access to this new information tool that can improve the speed and accuracy of pertinent information whether you are developing your disease management strategy, or dealing with a crisis when access to facts is critically important.<\/p>\n
VISION
\nLinking knowledge to practical solutions<\/p>\n
PURPOSE
\n\u2022 The purpose of the \u201cInformation and Technology Transfer Platform\u201d is to provide a practical resource to the pork production industry to assist in identifying and implementing treatment, prevention, control of disease; improving productivity and managing health.
\n\u2022 This website is intended for use by primary producers. The presentation style, ease of understanding, low-jargon level all recognize the variation in disease experience that the pork producer, feed reps, genetics reps, pharmaceutical reps, veterinarians and veterinary students may have with regards to economically important swine diseases.
\n\u2022 The content will be a science-based information source of how to control swine disease by providing data, peer-reviewed articles, and photos of practical application, discussion and opinions of experts.
\n\u2022 This will translate science into practical management and demonstrate the inter-relation of a variety of aspects of disease control.
\n\u2022 VSTG will add to the value of the data by \u201cvetting for relevance\u201d and making comments about the application of the information to swine producers in Canada.
\n\u2022 This \u2018one-stop shop\u2019 for practical disease information can also serve as a link to health products suppliers by offering to host scientific information available from their research and development. This is an opportunity to provide links to others who provide similar relevant swine production information \u2013 with an appropriate fee.
\n\u2022 Web-based presentation only, no printed document will be produced at this time.<\/p>\n
METHODOLOGY
\n\u2022 Information (data, peer-reviewed articles, photos of practical application, discussion and opinions of experts) will be critically evaluated for relevance prior to posting<\/p>\n
