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 70000-sow multisite production system with breeding herds endemically infected with PRRSV1 and PRRSV2.
Systematic breeding herd mass vaccination, followed by quarterly sow mass vaccination, and ongoing pig vaccination at weaning with Ingelvac PRRS MLV was applied.
A significant increase in ADWG and significant decrease in mortality was detected in both nursery and finisher pigs when compared against 24 months closeouts.
Strategic use of PRRS MLV, herd closure, and flow management in a 26000-sow production system to improve the reproductive and growing pig performance.
A significant improvement in reproductive and growing pig performance was achieved by a well-defined process that included the strategic use of Ingelvac PRRS MLV.
Wean to finish site with pigs coming from four to 11 different sow herds in Canada, and varying PRRS status.
Ingelvac PRRS MLV was used at the day of pig arrival to stabilize the pig population.
Ongoing improvement in the operation was observed with the PRRS management program.
Two-hundred sow farm (farrow to finish) located in South Korea.
PRSSV horizontal transmission occurred post-weaning with apparent clinical manifestation of disease.
Implementation of a PRRSV MLV vaccination program in piglets controlled PRRSV infection and reduced clinical signs and mortality.
