Part I Evaluating Regional Projects and Opportunities for PRRS Elimination, Dreaming of a World without PRRS - Dr. Robert Morrison, University of Minnesota, College of Veterinary Medicine, from the 2012 Iowa Pork Congress, January 24 - 26, Des Moines, IA, USA.
The document provides an emergency response plan for a group biking trip through Acadia National Park in Maine. It includes contact information for group members and emergency contacts, a detailed daily itinerary, maps of local hospitals, and contingency plans in case the group does not check in as scheduled. The plan outlines who to call if the group has not reported within 12 hours of their designated check-in time each day.

The document discusses the current situation of PRRS (Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome) in Minnesota and nationally. It provides an update on the progress of the Minnesota N212 Regional PRRS Elimination Project, including a decrease in positive sites. Additional research findings are presented on monitoring during herd closure, impacts of PRRS vaccination methods, and transport biosecurity. Opportunities for further progress in 2014 include expanding to include PEDV and automating data collection. Continued cooperation and communication are needed to control and eliminate PRRS.

Dr. John Grove - Fifty Years Of No-till Research In KentuckyJohn Blue
Long-term no-till research can provide valuable insights into crop production over many seasons. This research found that no-till soils generally had higher yields than tilled soils over time. No-till soils had cooler temperatures, held more water after rain, and had different soil biological properties and nutrient stratification compared to tilled soils. The impacts of no-till and fertilizer nitrogen on soil organic carbon and crop yields changed over the 50 years of the study.

Biological, chemical, and physical soil health indicators such as microbial biomass, soil organic matter, active carbon, and bulk density showed improved soil health in fields that were no-tilled or had cover crops for longer durations compared to conventionally tilled fields or fields with shorter cover cropping histories. Long-term no-till and cover cropping practices increased soil organic matter, microbial activity, and nutrient availability and decreased bulk density compared to conventional tillage systems.

• Managing confidentiality and risk of disclosure
22. Managing Disclosure
• Knowing the neighbor’s PRRS status is a
privilege.
• Pressuring the neighbor will drive it

• “Thank you for telling me. I’m sorry this is
happening to you. Do you mind telling me
your plans? Is there anything I can do to
help?”

25. Update for NE IL:
• Like many other areas, we had a quick rash of breaks in mid
fall, but have been able to contain them fairly well. All of
those producers are in the midst of control programs, and will
or have started elimination plans (Load-Close-
Homegenize). One sow farm has decided to go ahead and
filter the farm. No new strain introductions this year.
• The mood continues to be one of “Yes, We Can”; however, it is
disheartening on all sides (vets & producers) when breaks on
farms, that have eliminated virus and were having
phenomenal production, occur. Everyone is still committed to
the end goal: controlling & eliminating field-strain PRRS from
our area.

30. Current Needs/Challenges:
• Manpower – there never seems to be a shortage of things
we want to do for this area: educational
programs, improved biosecurity trainings, enhanced testing
• Endurance – the original “push” seems to have faded, and
the challenge will continue to be staying focused &
motivated in the years ahead
• Coordination Among Projects – now that there are so many
projects throughout the US, there needs to be a focused
effort (by NPB, AASV?) to connect the
leaders, coordinators, and participants of these projects so
that they can learn from each other, work in tandem with
one another (projects now know pig flows not only in & out
of their area, but in & out of other project areas).
33. Cuming Co, NE
1) Approx 10 new sow breaks & rumors of problems in some finishers
that haven't been checked yet. These farrowing units provide pigs to
about 25-30 grow finish sites so we are trying to get to all of the sites
to see if offspring is positive. Primarily reproductive problems at sow
units with high number of parasuis cases in newly positive nurseries.
2) The mood is pretty good. The project still has good momentum
although it does come in spurts. It seems if I have enough time to get
out to producers with project they are really excited. We are trying
some MJ prrs in a couple of our areas.
3) The current needs of the project continue to be that of time to
devote to it. When it is rolling we can accomplish a lot in a little bit of
time but it does get bogged down from time to time.

• Substantial progress in 2011.
• Only 2 incidents of PRRS.
– A nursery that receives pigs from an outside
source. Sequence matches source’s strain.
– A wean-to-finish site that had been negative since
the beginning of the area project, but in
November was positive. Source is unknown.
41. Some highlights:
• Dr. Aljets presented at the Swine Disease Conference at
Iowa State in November 2011
• A project vet requested a feed truck delivery pyramid
be drafted the project area. Feed truck biosecurity
facts and tips were drafted and will be shared with the
producers.
• Project dendogram continues to be built.
• Monthly updates continue to be sent to producers and
veterinarians which contain data tables, maps and
other appropriate updates
• PADRAPs are all but complete, only 2 more need to be
completed
42. What’s next?
• Herd plans
• Expanded the project boundaries to include all of Iowa
County commercial producers.
– Many producers in the eastern portion of the county are
beginning to get involved with the Washington County
project and sharing their information, & would be willing
to become a part of the Iowa County Project.
– Many sow farms in eastern portion of the county or
Washington county finish pigs in our current project area
or vice versa. If we were to expand the project, producers
and veterinarians believe that we could get a more
complete picture of pig and virus movement in the county.
43. Current needs & challenges:
• Keep producers focused and motivated. To encourage the project
onwards we plan to hold biosecurity workshops, bring in quest
speakers at quarterly meetings and explore other options. Some
producers are not excited to be retested. Leaders of project, along
with vets are encouraging producers to keep monitoring sites, as
well as complete PADRAPs and herd plans.
• Positive pigs are being placed in project area. If we could get
negative pigs coming into area that would automatically clean up
many growing pig sites.
• Better biosecurity. We are focusing on better biosecurity practices
including feed truck delivery biosecurity and transporting market
hogs. Transporting market hogs was the main focus of the last
producer meeting.
45. Current Issues & Workgroups:
• 7 working groups
• Failure of some closure programs
• Risk factors for spread in hog dense regions
46. Seven working groups:
1. Standard Of Practice for sow herd management &
sampling
