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.
Ingelvac® PRRS MLV vaccination program and health management are essential to achieve good performance in PRRS positive farms.
CUSUM charts are useful tools to detect cumulative deviations from the target; this SPC monitoring showed a potential benefit minimizing the severity and duration of PRRSv outbreaks in farms B and C using MLV vaccine as a contingency vaccine.
The economic benefit of 3FLEX in comparison to the identical but separately administered vaccines can at least partly be assigned to the reduction of stress caused by multiple handling and injections
The modified-live PRRSv vaccination program resulted in sustained, acceptable PRRS control in the breeding herd and post-weaning pig production
