Reducing reproductive loss due to PRRS
By Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica - PRRS is now endemic in the UK. The disease infects all herd types including those with a high health status and both indoor and outdoor units, irrespective of size. It can enter the herd by various routes, e.g. movement of carrier pigs, airborne transmission (up to 2 miles), contaminated vehicles, equipment or clothing.
The disease causes impairment of reproductive function in sows as well as respiratory disease in growing pigs.
Reproductive PRRS is associated with abortions, weak and stillborn piglets, early farrowing and a reduction in reproductive performance. Infected nursery piglets are weak and prone to secondary infections. Many farms infected with PRRS considered to be largely under control, have still to recover the reproductive performance they experienced before PRRS arrived in the UK.
Until recently, there has been no vaccine available to protect farmers from the reproductive losses associated with PRRS.
Now, there is Ingelvac PRRS KV.
