Better Sequencing Can Improve PRRS Elimination: 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.

Improved sequencing tools can make PRRS elimination easier, but the techniques also show how difficult-to-change management practices help drive the continued evolution of the PRRS virus. The ATM team talks with Dr. Kim VanderWaal (University of Minnesota) to understand the tools and the practices that need to change if the industry is to erase the drain on revenues caused by PRRS.
