30-Sep-2009 (16 years 8 months 7 days ago)Producer and veterinary members of a pork industry task force conferred at the Leman Swine Conference last week in St. Paul, MN, to explore setting a course for possible eradication of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS).
Success of individual herd eradication, coupled with the recent startup of a number of regional eradication programs, and the development of tools to assess the risk of reintroduction (PRRS Risk Assessment tool) and prevent reinfection (air filtration, biosecurity, PRRS-negative breeding stock) has renewed interest in pursuing strategies to eradicate the virus from the nation’s swine herds.
