Evaluating stillborn and litter size as indicators of PRRSV detection in live piglets and the use of stillborn tongue fluids as risk-based samples for PRRSV monitoring
In conclusion, stillborn TFs were a reliable indicator of PRRSV status among litters. Liveborn piglets from litters with PRRSV-positive stillborn TF or small litters had greater odds of testing PRRSV-positive. Therefore, stillborn TF collection and targeting small litters improve PRRSV detection and support farrowing room biocontainment strategies.
