Summary
Introduction The farm was a closed herd using AI and comprised 430 breeding sows. Progeny were kept until 10 weeks of age when they were sent to a second unit for finishing. The farm was infected with PRRS virus, as well as enzootic pneumonia (EP) (Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae), pleuropneumonia (Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae) (APP) and streptococcal meningitis/Arthritis (SM) (Streptococcus suis)...
PRRS is a big problem in infected farm . It takes time to eradicate PRRS. Mass vaccination for sows every 3 to 4 months and vaccinate for young piglets at 3 weeks old by live vaccine can be controlled outbreak of this disease.
PRDC caused by mycoplasma in combination with Haemophilus, APP, Streptococcus can be control by multivalent vaccine RESVAC (Komipharm) or Donoban (Virbac) combine with antibiotic program and management
I mean that such diseases can be controlled , but it is not easy to eradicate
