Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A total of 1,561 pigs (initially 4 d of age) were used to determine the effects of a porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSv) subunit vaccine, PRRSV-RS (Sirrah-Bios, Ames, IA), on mortality rate and finisher pig growth performance in a PRRSv-positive commercial herd. Pigs were randomly assigned by litter to either the subunit PRRSv vaccine or non-vaccinated control group. Pigs in the vaccinated group received an intramuscular injection of 1 mL PRRSV-RS vaccine at processing (approximately 4 d after birth) and again at weaning (approximately 24 d of age). Vaccinated and control pigs were comingled in a single nursery …
