Boehringer Ingelheim PRRSOptimism was the key word at the Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica (BIVI) “Area Regional Control of PRRS” seminar in Chicago Friday, which was held prior to the start of the 2009 International PRRS Symposium.

“There is a renewed optimism in our ability to put together area regional control and hopefully eradication programs for this disease and it’s an optimism I haven’t seen in the 20 some years I have been working with this disease,” said Dr. Scott Dee with the Swine Disease Eradication Center in Minnesota. He says the Minnesota project has gotten off to a good start and there is interest from other states in expanding the effort.
