RESPIRATORY DISEASES
Respiratory diseases in pigs are often complex. That is, disease causing pathogens affecting a pig’s lungs can often be found alongside other pathogens, making it difficult to determine the root cause. That’s why it’s important to determine if you are dealing with the primary, secondary, or commensal pathogen of concern when sampling and diagnosing your herd.
At Vaxxinova, our scientists and veterinarians have been researching the major isolates of concern when your pigs are afflicted with respiratory challenges for more than 25 years. Below, you will find the major respiratory pathogens of concern that Vaxxinova can provide solutions for your herd health challenges.
