Understanding Streptococcus suis in Today's Swine Industry

Streptococcus suis remains one of the most important bacterial pathogens affecting the global swine industry. Although it has been present in pig populations for decades, changes in modern production systems, herd health dynamics, and management practices have reshaped the way this disease impacts commercial farms.

In this first session of our three-part series, internationally recognized expert Dr. Marcelo Gottschalk explores why Strep. suis continues to be a major challenge for veterinarians and producers. Through an interview-style discussion, we'll examine how the disease develops, the role of modern production systems and co-infections, its true impact on productivity and economics, and the key knowledge gaps that remain.

Whether you're a swine veterinarian, producer, consultant, or animal health professional, this webinar will provide valuable insights into the evolving role of Strep. suis in today's production systems and set the stage for the upcoming sessions on diagnosis and prevention.

This session is pre-recorded, so you'll also be able to watch it on demand anytime after its initial broadcast.
