Abstract
The US swine industry has evolved toward large, integrated production systems and increased efficiency and sustainability, which also impacted disease ecology. A survey assessed the diversity of US barn sizes and pen designs. This report describes the results and discusses factors that may promote disease persistence in these changing conditions.
