Per ISU research, antibiotic use for piglets increased by 379% after a PRRS break. For older pigs, antibiotic use increased by 274%.

PRRS doesn’t just cause illness. It weakens the immune system, leaving pigs more vulnerable to secondary infections that often require more antibiotics.

The PRRS-resistant pig was developed to help prevent pigs from catching PRRS in the first place, which could help farmers reduce overall sickness in their herds and, in turn, the need for antibiotics.

That’s a win for pigs, producers, and people who care about our food system.
