Pharmgate highlights innovative PRRS vaccine at World Pork Expo

A technical service veterinarian with Pharmgate Animal Health says pork producers are struggling with Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) this year.

Speaking to Brownfield during World Pork Expo in Des Moines last week, Dr. Jeff Okones said Pharmgate has developed a relatively new modified live PRRS vaccine called PRRSGard.

“It’s unique (because) it has two strains bonded together to form one.”

He calls it the best of both worlds when trying to get ahead of PRRS exposure.
