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.
After the implementation of Ingelvac® PRRS MLV piglet vaccination, PRRS stabilization was achieved and an overall improvement in productivity was observed.
Consistently inducing uniform population immunity among vaccinated groups of pigs is believed to be a key to the success of this comprehensive approach to PRRS control.
