Welcoming everyone to the 4th Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica PRRS ARC&E Seminar was Dr. Laura Batista. This event is held in conjunction with the International PRRS Symposium. They bring together an international group of researchers, students, swine health specialists, companies and producers for a couple of days of informational presentations and to have a chance to network with people in areas outside their own.
Dr. Batista says the idea of controlling the PRRS virus is no longer a dream but is becoming a reality. There are still challenges though. That’s why educational efforts like today’s seminar are so important. Communications is essential and area control project coordinators play a big role doing that. Many of them are here.
