The modified-live PRRSv vaccination program resulted in sustained, acceptable PRRS control in the breeding herd and post-weaning pig production
Current swine production systems are achieving remarkably high numbers in piglets/wean/sow per year. This high performance of the sow during the lactation period is potentially due to genetic, feed, health, and management improvements. However, despite these important efforts, post-farrowing vaccination in sows is routinely applied to protect the breeding stock against Parvovirus sp. and erysipelas1.Therefore, there is a need to study the impact that this strategy may have on sow and piglet’s production performance parameters when applied during their lactation period2,3. As a result, the objectives of this study were to evaluate the potential impact that vaccination during the lactation period may have in sows and their offspring’s performance.

Dr DiPietre analyses the economic impact of PRRS to the whole herd. He cautions that we need to re-evaluate how we measure these costs by looking closer at individual data and the impact of variation.
