Swine Health Information Center Executive Director Paul Sundberg is retiring at the end of the month. After private practice and time at the National Pork Producers Council and National Pork Board, Sundberg helped launch the Swine Health Information Center in 2015. Sundberg credits the Swine Health Information Center for the development of rapid response teams to tackle a swine disease threat and a faster, more directed approach to animal health research. As retirement approaches, Sundberg encouraged producers to be engaged in organizations like the National Pork Board or National Pork Producers Council. His advice also extends to the swine barn. “Never assume that you have what doc said you had last time. Always get professional diagnostic help even with cases that look routine.” Dr. Megan Niederwerder will move into the executive director role for the Swine Health Information Center on January 1.
