Porcilis PRRS
Control of Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) with Porcilis PRRS
- Whole herd control of PRRS is now possible using
Porcilis PRRS for finishing and breeding pigs (sows and
gilts).
- The aim in vaccinating with Porcilis PRRS is to obtain a high,
homogeneous level of immunity against PRRSV, throughout
the herd. Piglets can be vaccinated from 2 weeks of age, before being exposed to the field virus.
- In gilts and sows, Porcilis PRRS improves reproductive
performance and reduces transplacental virus transmission.
- The use of Porcilis PRRS in finishing pigs results improved performance due to a reduction of vireamia resulting in reduced morbidity due to PRRSV infection, and a better daily growth and feed conversion.
- As always, management practices have an important
part to play. Gilts entering the breeding unit need to be
acclimatized, strict adherence needs to be paid both to
the all-in/all-out principle and to the unidirectional flow of
animals during the nursery and growing phases.

Combining Porcilis PRRS and Porcilis M Hyo
Porcilis PRRS and Porcilis M Hyo can be mixed and administered to finishing pigs from 4 weeks of age. The combination is for the control of Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) and protection against M. hyopneumoniae infections in finishing pigs.
For more information see Porcilis PRRS + Porcilis M Hyo.
