Eradicating Blue Ear/PRRSV now ‘possible’

Eradication of Blue Ear/PRRSV is possible, Danish expert Anders Elvstrom told Irish pig producers recently.

In his region of Denmark, positives have been reduced from 90% to 30%, he told a Teagasc meeting in Portlaoise.

“Our advantage is that we have a multi-site production system. Ireland would be at a disadvantage on this basis in that it would be more difficult to eradicate the disease from integrated herds.”
