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.
Porcine parvovirus (PPV) is considered the main cause of reproductive disorders in pigs, which are summarized under the acronym SMEDI (stillbirth, mummification, embryonic death, and infertility). In this review the biology of the virus and its structure, pathogenic potential and strain variation, as well as the disease induced by the virus, are described.
Porcine parvovirus (PPV) is widespread among swine and is responsible for reproductive failure of susceptible sows, characterized by embryonic and fetal death.
PRRS is known to cause significant production and economical loses to pig farmers all over the world and the lost is the highest when both reproductive and respiratory symptoms are present.
Porcine Parvovirus Type 1 (PPV1) contributes to important losses in the swine industry worldwide.
