Needle-free injection technology improves the dispersion of vaccines throughout the tissue.

Without the participation in the program of all farms present in the area, progress will be minimal or nil.

NFID administered swine vaccines can use half to a tenth of the dose required for intramuscular vaccines because of the higher antigen dispersion and contact with the antigen presenting cells found in skin.

A method to quantify the relative economic importance of pig health status at placement by specific pathogens (PRRSv and PEDv) and to estimate the effect of a specific type of PRRSv at a specific production system is presented.

The method is based on oral fluid collection from the groups of viraemic pigs by means of cotton ropes that will be hung in the incoming gilts pens.

The first and the most important condition at the beginning of PRRSV control program is to disrupt virus circulation in the reproductive herd.
