Combining sow herd stabilization and nursery PRRS virus control methods to achieve improved nursery performance

//18 Nov 2010

By Allison Winstanley

Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSv) is capable of causing severely negative biological and economic impact in nursery pigs. A recent analysis suggests a negative impact of US$3.35-$9.12/pig during the nursery phase.

¹ Nursery depopulation and PRRS modified live virus (MLV) vaccination of pigs are effective tools to minimize the clinical and economic impact of PRRSv infection.^2,3 The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of sow herd stabilization, nursery depopulation, and PRRS MLV pig vaccination on nursery performance.
