Tool objective: This Excel tool was developed for swine producers and field veterinarians to perform ongoing breeding herd surveillance to detect deviations in key production indicators.
Brief overview:
-The PRRSV Committee recommended funding for the PRRSV clinical case definition project after the January 2021 AASV meeting.
-Case definitions are crucial for monitoring disease trends, outbreak investigations, and benchmarking control strategies.
-A working group of veterinarians with expertise in swine health and diagnostics was assembled from the American Association of Swine Veterinarians PRRS Committee to propose a workable clinical case definition for PRRSV outbreaks, discuss the findings, and help develop the tool.
