Disease #1 • Farm purchased new gilts from an unknown source 3 weeks ago and placed with current herd • 50% of sows in all stages of gestation have aborted in the last 2 weeks • 90% of sows are off feed and lethargic • Water consumption has dropped 40% • Live Born on sows that have farrowed has decreased dramatically over the last week • Pigs born live are mostly small, low viability pigs
Prefarrow Vaccines • Prosystem RCE- Rota, Clostridium, E-Coli • Use Sow Bac CE II for enteric and respiratory • PRRS Vaccines – Consult your veterinarian • Flu Vaccine – Consult your veterinarian • Feedback – Consult your veterinarian • Rhinitis Vaccine – Week 13 of Gestation • PLE Vaccine – Week 5 of Gestation
