Video: #45 - PRRS on the nursery phase: managing secondary infections - Kyle Nisley

Every year, PRRS causes many reproductive issues and death losses to the swine industry across the globe. To make matters worse, recent years have seen the emergence of a new PRRSV strain: the 1-4-4 lineage 1C, whose main characteristic is being highly virulent – in other words, it causes higher rates of mortality than what we typically see with PRRS. In this episode, Kyle Nisley discusses a project he worked on that investigated potential means to treat secondary infections caused by PRRS in the nursery phase.
