The Guilty Gilt Guide was written with a clear objective – to maximize the whole-herd performance of pig populations by helping gilts to reach their full reproductive potential and produce healthy pigs that reach their full genetic potential during grow-finish.
The open reading frames (ORF)5 represents approximately 4% of the porcine repro- ductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV)-2 genome (whole-PRRSV) and is often determined by the Sanger technique, which rarely detects >1 PRRSV strain if present in the sample.
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is an important swine pathogen affecting the global swine industry.
Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (M. hyopneumoniae) infections continue to result in significant respiratory challenges in the swine industry worldwide. Vaccination for M. hyopneumoniae is commonly utilized, as reduction in bacterial loads and clinical severity in vaccinated pigs have been shown. However, the effect of M. hyopneumoniae vaccination on transmission across different pig populations has been minimally investigated.

This case report has proven that Ingelvac® PRRS MLV was effective in reducing the clinical signs and the mortality caused by HP PRRS virus in field. This is comparable to a previous field control case
This study demonstrates that Ingelvac® PRRS MLV was an effective measure to control PRRSV. It also demonstrates that Ingelvac® PRRS MLV is cross protective to HP-PRRSV strains which was also shown previously.
Effect of vaccination with a modified live porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus vaccine on growth performance in fattening pigs under field conditions
In this study, it is concluded that a Type 2 strain based modified live vaccine could reduce the impact of the highly pathogenic PRRS wild type 1 virus. This is consistent with other researchers’ findings
