PRRS Elimination – Next Steps for the U.S.: A podcast

Podcasts are a perfect way to get caught up with new swine information! We are presenting you the latest episode from “At The Meeting… Honoring Dr. Bob Morrison” in collaboration with SwineCast.

“Doing what we know how to do” is the best next step in efforts to eliminate PRRSv from the U.S. herd. The At The Meeting team presents a clear agenda in its continuing conversation with Dr. Scott Dee (Retired Director of Applied Research, Pipestone Veterinary Services) and Dr. Reid Philips (PRRS technical Brand Manager, Boehringer Ingelheim). The group acknowledges that PRRS elimination won’t be easy or immediately profitable, but a patient, persistent and proactive approach will yield success.
