Our Healthy Breeding and Research Swine Herds
- The ABI breeding herd tests negative for brucellosis and pseudorabies, for which it is monitored annually.
- The herd also tests negative for Salmonella Species.
- All production herd animals are vaccinated for Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS), Circovirus and Swine Influenza Virus (SIV).
- Before breeding the ABI breeding herd is wormed with Ivomec and vaccinated for Leptospirosis, Erysipelas and PRRS.
- Young research swine receive iron at three days of age. They are vaccinated for Rhinitis, Mycoplasma and Hemophilus Pneumonia, and are wormed with Fenbendazole at weaning.
- So as to protect against internal parasite infestations and larval migration, the pigs continue to receive Fenbendazole every four weeks until they grow out of the sales inventory weight range.

About Raleigh-Durham NC
The capital of North Carolina and the seat of Wake County, Raleigh is the second-most populous city in the state. It earned its moniker, "City of Oaks," due to the large number of oak trees within the heart of the city. Spread across 142 square miles of land, Raleigh is one of the fastest-growing cities in the country. A small portion of the city extends into Durham County, and the two areas are often grouped together to describe the overall region. Over the decades since Raleigh's founding, it has become a center for culture, art and science within the region, with over a dozen museums and several prevalent healthcare facilities throughout the city. While the city only has two higher education facilities, North Carolina State University and Wake Technical Community College, a number employers in the area are focused on health and research, including Rex Hospital, Duke Raleigh Hospital and Dorothea Dix Hospital.
