Time Is Right For PRRS Control

Chuck Zimmerman

Dr. Bob MorrisonThe man who is keeping the program running here today at the BI Foundations Seminar is Dr. Bob Morrison. He’s our emcee and right now as I post this, our panel leader.

I spoke with him on our break to learn more about what BI is trying to accomplish. He says that by bringing together presentations on various aspects of PRRS control like vaccine use, applying maps and diagnostics, they are showing that the tools are available to control the virus on a regional basis as opposed to an individual farm approach. Information sharing is at the essence of this he says and producers are going to need to be willing to share information. He says we’re just at the beginning of this process to create area and regional PRRS control but that the time is right.
