Monitor outcomes to ensure long-term PRRS control success. Track diagnostic results and pig performance data across sow, grow-finish, and whole production systems to detect low-level virus circulation, guide decisions, and move herds toward stable or negative status.
The Guilty Gilt Guide was written with a clear objective – to maximize the whole-herd performance of pig populations by helping gilts to reach their full reproductive potential and produce healthy pigs that reach their full genetic potential during grow-finish.
The open reading frames (ORF)5 represents approximately 4% of the porcine repro- ductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV)-2 genome (whole-PRRSV) and is often determined by the Sanger technique, which rarely detects >1 PRRSV strain if present in the sample.
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is an important swine pathogen affecting the global swine industry.
A single dose of the Ingelvac® PRRS modified live vaccine significantly reduced piglet loss after both heterologous European virus challenges.
PRRSV can cause significant impact on reproductive performance in endemically infected herds. This study aimed to investigate sow performance before and after implementation of a sow herd vaccination against PRRSV on a farm in Serbia.
Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) Virus is one of the major pathogens in pigs that have a significant economic impact on the swine industry worldwide. Modified life vaccine (MLV) against PRRSV has been demonstrated as an effective tool to control clinical signs related to infection. In literature, it is described that maternally derived antibodies (MDA) might interfere with MLV vaccination efficacy.
Ingelvac PRRS MLV was shown to reduce European PRRSV field strains from infected populations significantly. In distinct herds with well control health management and production systems, PRRSV could be eliminated from piglets produced from sows vaccinated
