Not all #ASF strains will jump out at us. This should serve as an eye-opener to our early detection surveillance efforts, "notably, pigs infected with these viruses could easily be missed early in a disease outbreak due to their reduced virulence." https://t.co/FJKmh11xVX

@drstaceyangus Sheesh!!

Marking a very clear “clean-dirty” line with orange paint at all barn entrances helps farm workers and service providers (inside and outside) really understand where they can touch when working around these entrances! #biosecurity

Well there are #silverlinings to April blizzards! Easy to apply #PhysicalDistancing on our street this morning...last ski of the season?

Both veterinarians and producers should have plans and protocols in place in the event of staff shortages. @AASwineVets

Seafarers continue to work even though situation in most ports is very difficult.

The maritime industry is one industry without which the current world economy could not survive.

A much-needed sign today. Despite worries, stress, and fear, the snow melted, the clouds parted, and this appeared.

It’s time we (myself included) change this #COVID19 terminology:

We need #PhysicalDistancing not #SocialDistancing.

We need #SocialSolidarity now more than ever.

Favourite quote of the day (although it’s early yet!!) Dr. Kent Grey, Swine Geneticist: “what does a geneticist do? We run https://t.co/ZQ2yDwYnYE for pigs!” That’s awesome... #AASV2020

When your vet is a dork and sprays a heart on the LDA’s incision to make her feel better. Oh wait, it was me! 😂😂 Happy Valentine’s Day.

To mitigate risk, best thing to do is cooperate with biosecurity protocols, Vittetoe says. "Cooperate with keeping barns locked, those sorts of things because there isn't a 'we' and 'they' in the swine industry. If we get #africanswinefever we're all 'we.'

Ribbon cutting yesterday to honour retired swine vet Mike Sheridan at the “Sheridan learning room”. Fitting that he is using a post mortem knife vs a scissors.... well done @btully3 and crew.

[Blaine Tully @btully3]

@Bergmann1Rick Thanks Rick. We appreciate all those who attended to acknowledge Dr. Mike’s legacy. He can still wield that post Morden knife well!

Forty seven pounds of swine material from Hong Kong seized in Minneapolis. #AfricanSwineFever

If you’re travelling, don’t pack pork or food items that contain pork in your luggage. You could unknowingly spread #AfricanSwineFever, devastating Canadian pig herds and our pork industry. #ASF

On this November 11, we remember those who served and sacrificed for freedom. #CanadaRemembers 💙⚓️

[Blaine Tully @btully3]

Well we’ve got our first crop of #Pigcare #Pigsafe certified (CPE) managers in Manitoba. Congrats everyone on being early adopters having competed the half-day training session! #CPC

[Blaine Tully @btully3]

If I’m being honest, Daylight Savings does mess my rhythm up twice a year and I haven’t heard any compelling reasons to keep it. Good for BC for ditching the status quo! What about MB? https://t.co/DMpyzSmrZ2
