PRESS RELEASE

 

“It is feasible to do it in a year, but we are going to be busy!”

In 2020, Boehringer Ingelheim has sponsored its latest annual European PRRS Research Awards which offer 25,000 Euros towards the funding of each of three research projects that are potentially of practical benefit in controlling PRRS. Hear the winners of the 2020 Awards describe the research they propose, given the time limit of completing the work in one year. A practitioner-led project in Denmark is to examine the impact of piglet weaning strategies on PRRSv in the nursery. An international team led from The Netherlands will use wholegenome sequencing to investigate genetic recombination in type-1 PRRS viruses. And, a study in Spain aims to measure how biosecurity measures against PRRS relate to the physical performance and profitability of commercial swine farms.
