Once absent from Atlantic Canada, heartworm is now appearing in the region in both dogs and wildlife such as coyotes and foxes. Heartworm is an internal parasite that is transmitted by infected mosquitoes. It can have very serious health consequences if left untreated in infected animals. Pet owners are encouraged to speak with their veterinarian about ways to help prevent heartworm infection in dogs and cats.
To tackle heartworm as an emerging health risk for dogs in Atlantic Canada, we have partnered with Atlantic Veterinary College - AVC at the University of Prince Edward Island and Mitacs to launch a Parasitology Residency Program.
Parasites like heartworm threaten animal health in Canada and the work done in this residency program will investigate its emergence in Atlantic Canada and help guide treatment and management practices in the region.
A unique, multi-buffer oral electrolyte solution can help support overall calf health.
Why is a multi-buffer system important in an oral electrolyte solution?
• It provides blood pH control.
• Bicarbonate gets straight to work because it doesn't need to be processed, while buffers, like propionate and citrate, need to be metabolized first but then provide a later effect on pH control.
• Bicarbonate should be at levels that do not interfere with milk digestion.

In the heart of Moreno, Argentina, a story of hope unfolds at the Andar chicken farm. Turning it into a centre of education and community, young adults with disabilities care for the chicken and teach over 500 children per year about nature and biosecurity. This small farm is a testament to resilience and community spirit.
PORCINE CIRCOVIRUS (PCV) IS CHANGING—BUT HAS YOUR VACCINE PROTOCOL?
There are currently three main PCV2 strains in circulation (PCV2a, PCV2b, PCV2d), but over the last 10 years PCV2d has emerged as the dominant genotype.1
While vaccination with a PCV2a-based vaccine can provide some cross-protection against other common PCV2 genotypes, severe PCV2d infection complicated by pathogens like PRRSV , influenza A virus of swine, and endemic bacteria such as Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae can linger below the surface, negatively impacting some vaccinated pigs and ultimately driving down herd performance.2
To help producers and veterinarians stay one step ahead of complex PCVAD, Boehringer Ingelheim designed and developed d-FENSE, the Canadian swine industry’s first PCV2d-based vaccine.
