Pig Farmers - Prss Outbreak + Vaccine Suppliers - Farming in Thailand Forum

All concerned,

See attached news article published Friday 9th July regarding PRSS outbreak in Thailand. Also I've found details of a recommended vaccine and where it can be purchased in Buriram and Surin.

Officers in Various Provinces Tackle PRRS

THAILAND - Livestock officers have inspected pig farms in various provinces following reports of the Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) that has killed a large number of pigs in Nong Khai province.

Livestock officers in Buriram province have visited pig farms to advise to farmers on hygiene and farm management. They have also given the farmers disinfectants and urged them to urgently report any symptoms of illness in the pigs to the department, so that officers could inspect and prevent the spread of the disease.

Meanwhile in Nakhon Pranom province, the Livestock Development Department, in coordination with local organizations, has expedited inspections in slaughterhouses and meat vendors. Nakhon Phanom is another province where pigs are reported to be attacked by the PPRS as it neighbors Nong Khai province.

Livestock officers have instructed for meat packing to be conducted in standardised and hygienic slaughterhouses to prevent the spread of the disease. Authorities have also prevented the transport of pork from unapproved areas.

Here the details i got on the Vaccine;

Hi,
You can buy vaccine for PRRS at Buriram, the shop name is Buriram karnkaset(the owner name hia yao) or at Surin the shop name is Chartchai Farm. It's cost 60 thb /dose. Vaccine name is Berlinger. You also need Micropassma vaccine together. And must reboot Pavovirus vaccine again 20 days before matching.
