Swine ’95
Study To
Examine
Changes
The USDA developed the National Animal
Health Monitoring System (NAHMS) in the
1980 s to provide data to support animal industry
research and marketing efforts that help produc
ers accomplish these and other goals. NAHMS
collects data directly from the farm through na
tional studies involving a random sample of
operations that are selected to represent the
national animal population.
The first NAHMS national study was the 1990
National Swine Survey. This May, the program
began its second study of the pork industry with
the Swine ’95: Grower/Finisher. The Swine ’95
study will identify changes since 1990 in man
agement practices in all production phases, then
concentrate on animal health and management in
the grower/finisher phase.
Though NAHMS’ first charge is to develop a
national data base, study benefits begin with the
individual participants.
“Producers that contributed data during our
first national study told us they got a lot out of
seeing where they fell in relation to other opera
tions and in identifying weak areas and potential
improvements,” said Dr. Eric Bush, NAHMS
swine commodity specialist. “We expect to deliv
er the same benefits for the Swine ’95 producers.”
In an evaluation following the 1989-1990 stu
dy. 90 percent of the producers said they would
recommend participation in the program to other
producers. An overwhelming percentage was
confident that the program would benefit the
swine industry as a whole, a concept reflected by
the volume of data that have been applied to re
search and educational projects.
“Seeing data put to use from the 1990 survey
has been exciting,” said Dr. Bush. “Some of the
highlights have been in use of a serum bank to re
search transmissible gastroenteritis (TGE), por
cine reproductive and respiratory virus (PRRS),
and toxoplasmosis. Legislators have used water
quality results to determine need for regulations,
and universities and the National Pork Producers’
Council have applied various topics to their re
search work.”
