Questions and answers -PRRSV infection and the use of Porcilis PRRS

Questions about the prevalence of PRRSV and disease syndromes.

Prevalence of PRRSV infection

• How widespread is PRRSV in my country and which strain is dominant?
• There was a positive PRRSV-antibody result in one adult sow recently. Does this mean that PRRSV is active in my herd?
• My herd is PRRSV-free at the moment. What are my chances of becoming PRRSV-positive?
• If PRRS is widespread in my herd won't all my pigs be immune?

Disease syndromes

• My herd is PRRS-positive but my finishing pigs perform pretty well. Will vaccination give me even better results?
• After a recent outbreak of pneumonia in my finishing pigs, antibody to PRRSV was detected. Will vaccination of finishing pigs prevent pneumonia in the future?
