The latest information on PMWS has been
published in a new Research into Action factsheet. It comes from an ongoing
study to identify the risk factors and their association with the severity of
PMWS at farm level. The factsheet can be downloaded here and there is
further information on the project website. Risk
factors identified include:
- Raising grower pigs indoors
- Bringing new boars onto the farm
- Presence of M. hyopneumoniae antibodies
- Presence of hospital pens which drain towards other accommodation
- Increased requirement for veterinary visits (consequence)
