چکیده
SAD: Swine Health Center, 621 Pacific Avenue, Morris, Minnesota, 56267; HSJ, BKP, TM, CP: Clinical and Population Sciences, 1988 Fitch Avenue, Room 225, University of Minnesota, St. Paul, Minnesota, 55108; SH, LT: Abilene Animal Hospital, 320 Northeast 14th Street, Abilene, Kansas 67410 ince its inception, nursery depopulation (ND) as a potential method for controlling postweaning porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) has met with both success and failure.1 While the majority of the farms that have used ND reported improvements in nursery performance, in certain cases postweaning PRRS problems have persisted due to the inability to control transmission of virus in the breeding herd.2 While the use of commercially available PRRS vaccines has frequently improved weaned piglet performance, in some cases problems have persisted. Therefore, it appears that preventing the transmission of PRRS virus among adult swine is important to the success of both ND and vaccination regimes, and it becomes critical to determine the factors that predispose viral shedding within the breeding herd.

Monitoring porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus infection status in swine herds based on analysis of antibodies in meat juice samples.
An indirect ELISA test was developed as a novel tool aimed at monitoring the herd infection status of swine herds. Meat juice samples from pig carcasses were analysed for the presence of antibodies against porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV). A study of samples from herds with known PRRS status was undertaken. The PRRS status of the herds was evaluated based on the analy...
متن کاملThe Financial Impact of PRRS Virus
• PRRS virus infection can result in financial losses due to increased death loss, poor reproductive performance, an increased significance of other diseases, increased use of vaccines and medications, and increased diagnostic costs. • Acute outbreaks in breeding herds have been estimated to be around $250 per sow with some estimates as high as $302 per sow. • Costs associated with persistent i...

BACKGROUND Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) has been a cause for great concern to the Danish pig industry since it was first diagnosed in 1992. The causative agent of PRRS is an RNA virus which is divided into different genotypes. The clinical signs, as well as its morbidity and mortality, is highly variable between herds and regions. Two different genotypes of PRRS virus (P...
متن کاملMonitoring breeding herd production data to detect PRRSV outbreaks.
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSv) causes substantial economic impact due to significant losses in productivity. Thus, measuring changes in farm productivity before and after PRRS infection enables quantifying the production and economic impact of outbreaks. This study assessed the application of exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA), a statistical process contro...
متن کاملPersistent bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) infection in cattle herds
Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is a significant pathogen associated with gastrointestinal, respiratory, and reproductive diseases of cattle worldwide. It causes continuous economic losses to the cattle industry primarily due to decreased reproductive performance. The ability of virus to cross the placenta during early pregnancy can result in the birth of persistently infected (PI) calves. P...
