April 25, 2012 — 

This Checkoff publication, PRRS Initiative Research 2004-2011, contains key findings and applications for PRRS based on the research funded during this time period. The book is intended to provide producers, veterinarians and veterinary researchers a resource of Checkoff research on PRRS and help with the development of herd health management strategies.

The National Pork Board Swine Health Committee made a focused commitment in 2004 to devote Checkoff funds for PRRS research in the form of the PRRS Initiative Research. Since that time, the PRRS Initiative Research program has funded 123 projects totaling more than $10 million dollars. The Checkoff funding for PRRS research has helped support scientists in more than 25 universities, USDA laboratories and private facilities in the United States and abroad.

The book is available for download on the Pork.org website.
