New PRRS resistant genetics means more to your bottom line

Jenelle Dunkelberger, Geneticist at Topigs Norsvin tells us about her research in PRRS. She was part of a research consortium that identified a genetic marker (referred to as WUR) for a major gene associated with natural resistance to PRRS. By incorporating PRRS resistance, based on WUR genotype, into the breeding program, Topigs Norsvin has introduced an effective defense mechanism against this economically important disease.
