Uterine-protection

 

Viral protection of sows and their foetuses against PRR-virus, Circovirus and Parvovirus inside the uterus.

A single vaccination of gilts against PRRS is insufficient for optimal protection. When facing
PRRS-outbreaks, a stable herd immunity can only be achieved by total herd vaccination.
Well tolerated sow vaccines allow vaccination of gestating sows during every stage of pregnancy.

The goal is to prevent:

  • Mummies
  • Weak piglets i.e. IUGR piglets
  • Stillborns
  • Non-specific fertility problems
