Success story: Pig wasting disease and a new pig circovirus: The EU contribution to the diagnosis and control of an important global disease epizootic | 2007-02-28
In 1997 the first reports of a “mystery wasting disease” in pigs in Canada and France started to appear in conference proceedings and the farming press and eventually in peer-reviewed journals. Following these preliminary reports the disease, named postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS), quickly spread around the world as a global epizootic causing severe economic losses to pig producers and restricting the movement of pigs and pig products.

Success story: Improved strategies in animal welfare for improved food quality| 2007-01-31
Food quality and safety have been issues of major public concern in Europe since the BSE (or mad cow) disease crisis in 1996. However, the food on their plate is not the only thing that worries Europeans. Citizens want to know about the conditions in which animals are kept and, in particular, their well-being.

Success story: Genetic tools to improve mastitis resistance in dairy cattle| 2006-12-21
Milk production is the most important agricultural activity in the EU, with over 18% of the total value of agricultural production. Mastitis is the most common disease in dairy cows and its incidence has not declined with improved methods of prevention and treatment. This disease is a major concern as it causes cows to suffer; it is the most costly disease to dairy farmers and leads to the highest antibiotic use in livestock production. The MASTITIS RESISTANCE EU-funded project developed alternative genetic approaches to mastitis reduction.
