What can we expect from PRRS piglet vaccination
PRRS plays an important part in the porcine respiratory disease complex as it’s a primary agent that causes clinical signs and economic losses. Moreover, PRRS infection in piglets opens the door to secondary infection with a huge impact on farms. We ask the experts how PRRS piglet vaccination helps to control respiratory disease.
What is the best strategy for vaccination of piglets against PRRS?
In order to maximize the efficacy of PRRS piglet vaccination, the experts enlighten us about the time of vaccination, the dynamics of infection in the nursery unit and the role of maternally derived antibodies. Get the most out of PRRS piglet vaccination by following their advice.
Recombinación del virus de PRRS
Lars E. Larsen y Cesar Corzo nos explican por qué el virus PRRS tiene tanta facilidad para recombinarse, remarcando que esto no siempre genera problemas en granja. Además, Enric Mateu resalta la importancia de seguir planes de vacunación adecuados para minimizar la posibilidad de recombinaciones.
Interference of maternal antibodies with piglet vaccination
The presence of maternal antibodies could interfere with PRRS piglet vaccine efficacy. There are options to reduce the interference of maternal antibodies such as 2-shot vaccination, delaying the time of vaccination or the use of an alternative route such as ID vaccination. Listen to the expert to find the keys to this.
Can we vaccinate piglets against different diseases at the same time?
The normal vaccination programme for piglets includes PRRS, Mycoplasma and Circovirus vaccination. So, any system that reduces labour on the farm is much appreciated. But, can the immune system generate immunity against different antigens at once? The experts explain this to us.
La secuenciación como herramienta de control del PRRS
Enric Mateu, Lars E.Larsen y Carlo Lasagna nos cuentan su opinión sobre utilidad de la secuenciación como herramienta en el control del PRRS. La gran variabilidad del PRRS hace que la secuenciación sea una forma muy útil para tener información epidemiológica de nuestras cepas de PRRS, pudiendo compararlas entre ellas, diferenciar cepas campo y vacunales, estudiar la variación del virus a lo largo del tiempo o detectar la entrada de nuevas cepas.
Intradermal vaccination against PRRS with a needle-free device is a step forward in PRRS vaccination. It brings advantages in terms of the limitation of spread of viruses and bacteria, improved welfare for piglets, greater efficacy and happier farmers. Discover what the experts think about intradermal PRRS vaccination.
¿Tiene sentido la vacunación frente a PRRS con vacuna inactivada?
¿Cuál es su mecanismo de acción y cuál sería el momento óptimo de aplicación? ¿Puede usarse en granjas positivas? Iván Díaz, Investigador del IRTA-CRESA nos responde a estas preguntas y aclara más dudas acerca de este tema de actualidad.
