PRRSGard is safe and effective.

No drag. Low shed and spread.

Modified-live vaccines (MLV) are incredibly effective because they induce both humoral (antibody) and cell-mediated immunity.* However, that usually creates a short-lived performance drag on the animal because more resources go to its immune system instead of growth while it builds up a defense. That's not the case with PRRSGard, a safe and effective vaccine. Dive into the data.

EFFECTIVE

NO DRAG

Pigs vaccinated with PRRSGard show little effect from vaccination
and continue eating and gaining.

SAFE

LOW SHED + SPREAD

The virus from the PRRSGard vaccine doesn’t travel to naïve pigs.

At 41 days post-vaccination, 80% of the control pigs (57/71) tested negative for PRRSGard RT-PCR compared to 20% (14/71) of the control pigs that tested positive.2

There was no PRRSV detected in aerosol samples at any of the three test locations up to 35 days post-vaccination, when aerosol testing concluded.3

Lower Mortality

Mortality after eight weeks on feed for the PRRSGard group was 3.69%, whereas the mortality for the group given the leading competitor vaccine was 7.25%.4

Lower Mortality

Mortality after eight weeks on feed for the PRRSGard group was nearly half at 3.69% of the competitor's vaccine group at 7.25%.4
