Keeping new diseases out of your farm: The role of the Canadian Swine Health Intelligence Network
Posted in: Economics, Pork Insight Articles, Production by admin on June 14, 2017
CSHIN is an industry operated surveillance network: The network has been
set up with producers at all levels of decision-making – they influence responses
and communications. Confidentiality is critical. It responds to diseases that
normally fall through the cracks, common endemic diseases that cost money but
are not the responsibility of any level of government (Brachyspira for instance).
The information from the network is there to help your veterinarian manage
diseases on your farm. The primary role of CSHIN is to help individual veterinarians to reduce the burden of disease (losses of animals and productivity and costs from management of disease) on their clients (the producers) individual farms, by preventing and managing swine diseases.
