Viral diseases, such as PRRS, pose a significant threat to global pig production. They not only cause low animal welfare and higher mortality rates but also result in severe economic losses for affected producers. That is why contamination control is a high priority for pig producers. Producers with breeding and multiplier herds, in particular, need to consider contamination control in their production facilities.
The choice of solution depends on several factors. Producing finisher pigs in an area far from other pig production sites requires minimal or no filtration. However, if the producer has a breeding herd in an area with a high concentration of livestock houses, the need for filtration is high. The density of livestock houses, management in the pig houses, and the farmer's willingness to take risks are also factors that influence the choice of solution.
