Danish national PRRS reduction strategy - Status year 1
By May 2023, 85% of all Danish pig herds have a serological PRRS status. Area eradication programs have been established in regions with a high density of PRRS seropositive herds. The Danish Agriculture & Food Council has taken a range of initiatives with the purpose of paving the road for a national reduction of PRRS, including an implementation strategy, digital tools, common guidelines for the classification, monitoring, and eradication of PRRSV, and project funding resources.
