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——一名豬獸醫說,剛啟動的西部加拿大豬衛生情報網絡是一種保持西部加拿大豬衛生數據的很棒的方式,布魯斯·科克倫寫道。西部加拿大豬衛生情報網絡,由豬肉生產商議會在四個西部省份建立,合作伙伴為省首席獸醫官辦公室,負責西部加拿大的豬衛生監測,是關注加拿大疾病監測和疾病知識傳遞的三個利器之一。草原豬健康服務中心的伊根·布羅克霍夫博士說,這三個系統與加拿大的豬健康情報網絡一起工作,保護加拿大的豬群免受新疾病侵擾,幫助告訴人們在加拿大流行什么疾病。
