Dr. Henry Osemeke: Efficient PRRS Testing | Ep. 53
Description
Efficient diagnostic surveillance and testing for Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) in weaned pigs is crucial to good swine management, particularly considering their high susceptibility and frequent exposure to the disease. To achieve accurate sample size estimation and proper interpretation of laboratory results, one must understand the effectiveness and limitations of different sample types. With that in mind, Dr. Henry Osemeke discusses various diagnostic samples in this episode, including serum samples as well as oral and blood swabs, and explains their importance for assessing the PRRS status of weaned pigs.
