PRDC (Porcine Respiratory Disease complex) is one of the most important disease in the swine industry. PRDC can be caused by viral and bacterial pathogens as well as environmental, management, and genetic factors. Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome virus (PRRSV) is the most common primary pathogenic agent involved in PRDC. PRRSv can predispose pigs to more severe bacterial infections like Pasteurella multocida. In Korea, Only type II of PRRS virus has been isolated from 1994 to 2000 but type I virus is emerging recently.
In this study, we evaluate the efficacy of Ingelvac® PRRS MLV (Type II PRRSv based vaccine) piglet vaccination in a grow-finish farm infected with Type I PRRS virus and secondary bacteria.
