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.
PRDC (Porcine Respiratory Disease complex) is one of the most important disease in the swine industry.
PRRS is one of the diseases with the greatest economic impact on the swine industry as a single disease.
PRRSv has been demonstrated to have an economical per pig up to $9.12 US dollars in nursery phase.
Objective: To estimate the current annual economic impact of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) on the US swine industry.
