Description of the Chilean swine industry, lessons learnt from biosecurity realities with regards to a new PRRSv introduction. Biosecurity Critical control points. Experience with new PRRSv introduction and pig flow.
Dr. Marika Genzow shares her knowledge on PRRS essential actions for managing and controlling PRRS.
Dr. Dale Polson explains how you can improve your risk assessment and management resulting in better resilience.
What are the important respiratory pathogens we are dealing with, how did PRRS control change over time and what has Sherlock Holmes to do with it? Dr Tom Gillespie shares his practical experiences as a swine veterinarian and answers these and many other questions.
How does PRRS interact with the pig and how do pigs respond to the infection? These and many more questions are answered by Prof Michael Murthaugh.
Professor Yang explains the mechanisms that PRRS uses to evade the pig’s immune system and some of the mistakes we make to help it succeed.
Disease control continues to be one of the most challenging areas for pig producers and swine veterinarians around the world. Threats such us the entrance of a strain of a virus that is endemic in a region (i.e. PRRS) or the emergence of a highly virulent transboundary disease (i.e ASFV) are important factors that make effective biosecurity one of the number one measures that protect any swine production investment.
