Can you estimate PRRSV piglet prevalence using family oral fluids? Yes, you can.

This is our Friday rubric: every week a new Science Page from the Bob Morrison’s Swine Health Monitoring Project. The previous editions of the science page are available on our website.

Today’s Science Page brings together researchers from three continents! Onyekachukwu Osemeke, Eduardo Costa, Vinicius Weide, Swaminathan Jayaraman, Gustavo Silva, and Daniel Linhares share how to estimate PRRS prevalence at the piglet level in a farrowing room based on the results of family oral fluid testing.
