CANADA - A swine veterinarian says the fledgling Western Canadian Swine Health Intelligence Network is a great way to keep our finger on the pulse of swine health in western Canada, writes Bruce Cochrane. The Western Canadian Swine Health Intelligence Network, established by the pork producer councils in the four western provinces, in partnership with the Offices of the Provincial Chief Veterinary Officers, to assume responsibility for swine health surveillance in western Canada, is one of three arms focusing on disease monitoring and disease knowledge transfer in Canada. Dr Egan Brockhoff, with Prairie Swine Health Services, says those three systems are working together with the Canadian Swine Health Intelligence Network to protect Canada's pig herd from new disease, from emerging disease and to help inform people about what's happening with disease that's endemic across Canada. 加拿大——一名猪兽医说,刚启动的西部加拿大猪卫生情报网络是一种保持西部加拿大猪卫生数据的很棒的方式,布鲁斯·科克伦写道。西部加拿大猪卫生情报网络,由猪肉生产商议会在四个西部省份建立,合作伙伴为省首席兽医官办公室,负责西部加拿大的猪卫生监测,是关注加拿大疾病监测和疾病知识传递的三个利器之一。草原猪健康服务中心的伊根·布罗克霍夫博士说,这三个系统与加拿大的猪健康情报网络一起工作,保护加拿大的猪群免受新疾病侵扰,帮助告诉人们在加拿大流行什么疾病。
