A American PRRSpective 2026 brought together swine health professionals, veterinarians, researchers, and industry experts to discuss the latest advances in PRRS prevention, monitoring, and control. Held under the theme “Get in tune with PRRS Control,” the event featured scientific presentations, practical field experiences, and innovative strategies for improving herd health and production performance.
Dr. Reid Philips explains what direct and indirect benefits mean when it comes to PRRS control. He shows practical examples on how to reduce wild type virus circulation within a production system. He answers the question; is there a challenge dose where vaccination fully prevents consequences of infection?
Dr. Rathkjen gives an outlook what challenges are coming until 2050 and how to overcome this with 5 different tools.
In this Presentation Prof. John Harding (University of Saskatchewan) explains the natural variations in PRRS resilience and how we can improve those to better protect our pigs from reproductive failure caused by PRRS.
