The infection of the swine herd with Salmonella and consequently, the presence of this micro-organism in swine products, has been a serious concern since it can be a great threat to the consumers themselves. Embrapa Swine and Poultry and UFRGS teamed up to develop tools and epidemiological studies that can characterize the problem, the contamination sources and the infection dynamics in the country's southern herds. This project aims to propose a systematic control of the Salmonella infection in

As a World Health Organization and Codex Alimentarius member, Brazil needs to respond to global calls to improve human health and food production. At the heart of this debate is the interdisciplinary challenge of controlling resistance to antimicrobials. In addition to measures aimed at those focusing on human health, advances are also needed in the agricultural sector, both in knowledge and in immediate measures for rational use of antimicrobials and control of resistance spread. In this sense,

Pig respiratory infections caused by influenza A viruses (FLUAVs) lead to significant economic losses and pose a threat to human health due to the possibility of pandemics. Although Brazil has one of the largest world's pig herds (41 million animals), there was little evidence of FLUAVs' presence in Brazilian pig herds before 2009. After detecting the H1N1 pandemic virus (H1N1/2009) in 2009, influenza surveillance efforts in Brazilian pig production increased. Consequently, new influenza viruses

Brazilian pig production has increased its production in recent years, placing Brazil among the world's largest animal protein producers. This increase was mainly due to technological advances, such as artificial insemination. Artificial insemination is widely used in farm animals for genetic material dissemination. Data points out that more than 95% of sows are inseminated in Brazilian pig production. This biotechnology can also be a biosecurity tool that keeps production systems sanitary close
