PRRS is a global issue with enormous costs for the swine industry.
From increased pressure on resources and ensuring animals stay healthy, the economic toll is massive, affecting farms of every size and type, in every corner of the world. The economic burden impacts the full value chain, beginning with producers and ending with consumers.
That’s why we believe in responsible progress, rooted in science, like the PRRS-resistant pig.
Eliminating PRRS could be a meaningful step toward a stronger, more sustainable future for pig producers everywhere.

What does the future of pig farming look like?
According to Dr. Craig Lewis, genetic innovation is driving healthier, more resilient pigs — boosting productivity without compromising welfare. In Farmers Weekly, he shares how technology is reshaping pork production for modern farming.Pigs of the future: genetics shaping a more resilient herdAdvances in pig genetics are rapidly changing breeding and herd management. With digital phenotyping and artificial intelligence, breeders can now select pigs not just for growth a

Per ISU research, antibiotic use for piglets increased by 379% after a PRRS break. For older pigs, antibiotic use increased by 274%.
PRRS doesn’t just cause illness. It weakens the immune system, leaving pigs more vulnerable to secondary infections that often require more antibiotics.
The PRRS-resistant pig was developed to help prevent pigs from catching PRRS in the first place, which could help farmers reduce overall sickness in their herds and, in turn, the need for antibiotics.
That’s a win for pigs, producers, and people who care about our food system.

Optimizing weaning: From tactical separation to strategic transformation
Weaning is not simply a transition—it is a biological, behavioral, and logistical milestone that determines the trajectory of both the piglet and the sow for the rest of their production cycle. Done well, it boosts performance and animal welfare. Done poorly, it cascades into digestive disorders, reduced intake, stress-induced mortality, and missed reproductive

From risk to resilience: Rethinking weaning management to boost piglet performance
Weaning is one of the most critical turning points in a piglet’s life. It is a moment of profound physiological, nutritional, and behavioural disruption that, if mismanaged, can compromise lifetime performance and welfare. Yet, when approached strategically—with science, structure, and empathy—it becomes a launchpad for health, growth, and productivity.
As the industry pursues more efficient, welfare-centred production, managing the weaning transition with precision is no longer optional. I
