    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Pig veterinarians prioritize research on atrophic rhinitis, infertility, and neonatal enteritis. Current research appears insufficient for these critical swine health issues.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Animal Science
    • Swine Production

    Background:

    • The Pig Veterinary Society conducted a survey to understand member priorities for pig research.
    • Understanding research priorities is crucial for allocating resources effectively in swine health.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify the highest priority research areas for pig veterinarians.
    • To compare these priorities with the current landscape of pig research.

    Main Methods:

    • A postal survey was distributed to members of the Pig Veterinary Society.
    • 153 analysable questionnaires were returned, representing a 64% response rate.
    • Survey responses were analyzed to determine research priorities across different veterinary work types.

    Main Results:

    • The top research priorities identified were atrophic rhinitis, non-infectious infertility, neonatal enteritis, disease economics, preventive medicine, and swine dysentery.
    • These six subjects represented the top three priorities across all surveyed veterinary groups.
    • An analysis of "Index of Current Research on Pigs XXII" suggested that some of these priority areas may be under-researched.

    Conclusions:

    • Veterinary professionals have clearly defined priorities for pig research, focusing on disease prevention and management.
    • There is a potential gap between identified research needs in swine health and the current research output.
