The opening speaker at the Boehringer Ingelheim Flex Symposium was Dr. Edgar Diaz, DVM. He’s a technical manager for BIVI. His task was to provide a scientific overview of PCVAD (porcine circovirus associated disease).
Dr. Diaz says that they’ve found the focus to be on vaccinations recently so he was on the agenda to talk about some new research in this area. The research, he says, shows that vaccination is a very effective tool to reduce the impact of the disease on the farm.
