This talk provides an overview of the outcomes for both the Australian and Philippines pig industries from a recently completed ACIAR project (ACIAR AH/2009/022 - Improved investigation, diagnosis and technical support for the control of respiratory diseases of pigs in the Philippines and Australia). The talk provides an outline of the philosophy undermining the project, the similarities and differences between the pig industries of the two countries and the details of the key outcomes from the project.
