Effective biosecurity to protect North American studs and clients from emerging infectious disease 2019-10-01 .txt text/plain 5263 253 53 Circumstances in North America in the period of 1999–2004 resulted in numerous PRRS virus (Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome) negative boar studs becoming infected and disseminating virus to sow farms. Cleary defined physical barriers for people and animal entry and exit, sanitization and/or down time on incoming supplies, risk mitigation and testing of feed ingredients, and filtration have been keys to changing the incidence of emerging infectious disease introduction into boar studs. Biosecurity measures to prevent PRRS (Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome) virus transfer among farms has largely influenced the biosecurity practices of boar studs in North America and worldwide. The purpose of this paper is to review practical effective biosecurity procedures that have made an impact in reducing the risk of emerging infectious disease entering boar studs and infecting sow farms through semen. Air filtration can be an effective way to prevent aerosol transmission of important swine viral diseases that can spread from the boars through the semen and infect sow farms. ./cache/cord-270161-vaejyy4i.txt ./txt/cord-270161-vaejyy4i.txt
