The first step is often the most overlooked. Simply stated, where do you want your herd to be in the PRRS story? Ask yourself: What is my goal? There are three common goals. 1) Control the effects of the disease and improve health/performance; 2) eliminate the virus; or 3) prevent the virus from introduction/reintroduction once achieving PRRS-negative status. What is your goal? Most producers will work toward PRRS control (with the goal of weaning. The current focus is on preventing introduction of the v...

Reducing aerosol shedding of PRRS virus with MLV vaccine. Pigs raised in swine-dense areas are potentially at a greater risk of being infected with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) due to aerosol shedding of PRRS virus. Implementing strategies to reduce aerosol transmission of PRRS virus is important to reduce the shedding of PRRS virus within and between herds to minimize the risks of breaks or. Reducing both the duration and frequency at which infected pigs shed wt PRRS virus can he...

A devastating pig disease. Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea (PED) is a devastating disease. The causative agent, PEDv, is endemic in many regions of the world. Currently, it has a tremendous impact on swine production in North America and Asia, but the relevance might increase in other parts of the world, too. Transmission and Clinical Signs. While clinical symptoms may be the same as transmissible gastroenteritis (TGE) virus with acute diarrhea, laboratory testing is the only way to correctly diagnosing PEDv.

Controlling PRRS virus in the grow-finish period makes cents. Economic losses of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) have been estimated at $664 million in the United States. Losses occurring in the grow-finishing period alone total $361.85 million, representing a profit loss of $4.32/pig. Cost includes performance losses and cost of medication.). The majority of the economic losses are due to decreased revenue from marketing fewer pounds of pork. 2015 Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica, Inc.
