Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Swine diseases remain a major challenge for global pork production, causing significant economic losses and threatening animal health and welfare. This Special Issue will focus on the outbreak control and eradication strategies of important swine diseases under modern production systems. Contributions addressing innovative diagnostic approaches, biosecurity measures, vaccination strategies, herd management practices, and lessons learned from recent outbreaks are particularly welcome. By integrating clinical research, field experiences, and applied control measures, this collection aims to provide a comprehensive platform for advancing porcine health management and ensuring the sustainability of swine production worldwide.
