#47 - PCV2: is there reason for concern? Part 2

swine health blackbelt Mar 29, 2023

In the first part of this episode, we saw that although PCV2 may not be that severe anymore, especially considering the role of vaccination, we still have some cases of systemic diseases caused by PCV in pigs – even in well-vaccinated ones. That happens because we're well equipped to run diagnostics, but vaccination timing and dosing depends on different management programs applied on the farms. So in the second part of this episode, Dr. Joaquim Segalés continues discussing the changes in PCV2 epidemiology and the factors that need to be considered when vaccinating each farm.
