I am proud to announce the publication of our new research article in PLOS ONE: “Assessment of Three Large-Scale Depopulation Methods for Swine.”
This study evaluated the effectiveness, practicality, and welfare implications of three widely used depopulation approaches during animal disease outbreaks. The research provides much-needed data to guide policymakers, veterinarians, and producers in selecting safe and humane methods under crisis conditions.
Collaborating with co-authors and field experts on this project was both challenging and rewarding. The publication reflects our shared commitment to advancing science that has direct, real-world impact.
Takeaway: Research like this is critical in ensuring outbreak responses are not only effective but also ethical and scientifically sound.
