June Domestic Swine Disease Monitoring Report Now Available

June 1, 2021 — 

The Swine Health Information Center's (SHIC) June Domestic Swine Disease Monitoring Report is available. This month's Domestic Swine Disease Monitoring Report shows that porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) continues to be very active, especially in wean to market age category. A second wave of detections for the PRRSV RFLP 1-4-4 L1C variant strain was detected. After a couple of months with a continued increase in detection of PDCoV, during May PDCoV detection has had a moderate decrease in the age categories adult/sow farm and wean to market. The advisory group has shared their practical points for preventing a new wave of pathogens activity for the upcoming fall and winter seasons in the report as well. In the podcast, the SDRS hosts talk with Dr. Paul Yeske about his experience on handling the PRRSV RFLP 1-4-4 L1C variant strain since its emergence and in the second wave and how to intervene to improve animal health.
