with your production system?
WHY TAKE RISKS with your production system?
Use the PRRS Risk Assessment!
What Can THE PRRS RISK Assessment
do for you?
-- Act as a tool to evaluate current biosecurity protocols and/or to develop new biosecurity protocols to avoid risk -- Demonstrate improvement in biosecurity over time to help justify expenditure of resources on measures to improve biosecurity -- Help in the decision to initiate a project to eliminate PRRS virus from a breeding herd site -- Help in the decision to use a breeding herd site to produce genetic animals -- Assist in the due diligence process for purchases or contracting agreements
Are any of your production practices

What Do I Need To Do
What is the PRRS
to have a PRRS Risk Assessment performed on my herd?
Risk Assessment?
-- A computer program that takes a producer through a series of biosecurity questions
-- Ask your veterinarian if he or she is trained to use the PRRS Risk Assessment
-- Producers answer questions related to factors that can affect the herd from within or from the outside.
-- If so, schedule a time to meet with your veterinarian to perform the assessment
-- The program generates a report that correlates specific production practices in the herd with the risk of that herd breaking with PRRS.
Example of information that the PRRS Risk Assessment can yield.
Number of clinical PRRS breaks on farms following different procedures after vehicle washing.
-- If your veterinarian is not trained, contact the American Association of Swine Veterinarians for a list of trained veterinarians at [email protected]
Examples of Practices That Are Discussed during a PRRS Risk Assessment -- Procedure for introducing breeding animal replacements into a herd, including exposure to PRRS virus infected live breeding animals or pigs prior to entry -- Number of different PRRS virus field strains present at this site -- Number of PRRS clinical breaks at site(s) from which semen is sourced in last 2 years -- Drying time following wash of vehicles used to transport animals to market or collection points
