The industry can keep PRRS at bay, says Scott Dee, DVM, MS, PhD. The results of a two-year retrospective study provide confidence that improvements in swine herd biosecurity can reduce the incidence risk of PRRS. He shares the importance of next-level biosecurity and relates it to all group housed animal settings.
Biosecurity is a people business. If people don’t follow the rules, it doesn’t work. . . the culture of the farm must change to a ‘We don’t want PRRS anymore’ mindset . . .”
