swine health blackbelt Aug 02, 2023

Understanding the complex world of swine health management is critical for maintaining farm productivity and reducing losses associated with disease outbreaks. In the second and final part of this two-episode sequence with Dr. Chris Rademacher, we delve into one initiative that assists with this matter: the PRRS Outbreak Management Program (POMP). Led by expert veterinarians, such as Dr. Rademacher himself, this program collects, correlates, and analyzes data to better understand how PRRS virus outbreaks and management strategies impact pig farms.
