PRRS – Page 7 – Swine in Minnesota

Environmental Impact of the Hungarian Swine Sector during the PRRS Eradication Program with Full Herd Replacement (2014–2022) Focusing on the proactive veterinary medicine and vets’ decisions’ environmental consequences

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.

László Búza, István Szabó, Jr., László Gombos, László Varga, Veronika Szűr-Gombos István Szabó share their key findings from Hungaria’s PRRS eradication program impact on the environment.

Rearing pigs with play opportunities: The effects on disease resilience in pigs experimentally inoculated with PRRSV

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.

In today’s Science Page Karolína Steinerová, John Harding, Sarah Parker, Heather Wilson, Arthur Nery Finatto and Yolande Seddon take a look at the connection between rearing pigs with play opportunities and infection resilience.

Science-Based Biosecurity Sustainably Prevents PRRSv Infection and Improves Productivity in Swine Breeding Herds

On this first Tuesday of December, we are featuring a new paper from the MSHMP team in collaboration with Pipestone research, published in the journal Animals and available in open-access. This article, a follow-up from a previous publication, compares key performance indicators between farms implementing Next Generation Biosecurity (NGB) or not. Refer back to the first publication for a description of NGB which encompasses measures to control four routes of disease transmission (direct, mechanical, feed, and aerosol) and a retrospective analysis of PRRSv incidence rates for 2 years.

Assessment of Antibiotic Use in Grow-Finish Pigs After PRRSV Introduction in a PRRSV-Naïve Breeding Herd

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.

For today’s Science Page we bring you a study by Iowa State University researchers Isadora Machado, Thomas Petznick, Ana Paula Silva, Chong Wang, Locke Karriker, Daniel Linhares, and Gustavo Silva taking a look at the association between PRRSV-positive status and increased antibiotic usage in the growing pig population.

AI brings 30 years of data to the real world

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) virus impacts as much as half of all swine breeding farms in the United States. It’s one of the most costly issues the swine industry faces. The virus now costs the U.S. pork industry $1.2 billion per year in lost production, an 80-percent increase in the last decade.
