PRRS control or elimination in Danish herds – who, how and when

The three most important things in respect to a PRRSV control program are: 1) planning; 2) planning and 3) planning; and the success of the program depends also on three important factors: 1) people; 2) people and 3) people!

22-Oct-2020tamas-reveszAlthough the control strategy above emphasise the bisecuriy measures as primary action and vaccination as supporting tool only (wich I totally agree), it's strange a little, that despite the publication lately reporting about the severe impact of a recombinant strain originated from 2 MLV strains widely used in Danmark (one of the current auther is co-auther there as well), and several publication proving the higher immunological reaction (Comparison of different vaccination schedules for sustaining the immune response against PRRSV , Diaz et al,2013, The Veterinary Journal) as well as at least same but sometimes even better clinical protection of killed vaccine alone or in prime-boost protocol (Comparison of productivity losses between swine breeding herds adopting killed or attenuated PRRS virus vaccination protocols following PRRS outbreak, Rawal 2020, ISU) , the authers here not even mention it as a possibly safer alternative.

Introduction of replacement gilts to PRRS-positive sow herds

A study was performed including 69 PRRS-positive sow herds with the aim of comparing the use of PRRSV MLV and quarantine facilities with the PRRSV status of replacement gilts at first insemination.

27-Jun-2017preben-mortensenHey Hooo!
Stop a little
A quarantine is to the best of my knowledge defined as a confined airspace room run strictly all-in-all-out with thorough cleaning, disinfection and drying out between groups.
I do not see any exclusion of rooms called quarantines by the farmer/farm vet(?) but not living up to the true standards of such a facility.
I would like to see the conclusion on quarantine room proper and not something, really nothing, I am sorry to say.

PRRSV control using vaccination and optimized management: three case studies

Although the use of vaccination was effective in stabilizing the sows, the results of these case studies emphasized that elimination of PRRSV from the nursery can only be accomplished if vaccination and partial depopulation/ disinfection are supported by strict implementation of all recommended management procedures, including AI/AO.

Swine influenza virus infections in piglets

A relatively high proportion of young piglets in a farrowing unit of a herd with circulating swine influenza virus may be infected by SIV during the first weeks after birth revealing that not all piglets are protected by maternal antibodies.
