Welcome to “Talkin’ about Pigs” – a podcast where individuals from the Swine Medicine
Education Center (SMEC) answer swine health questions submitted by pork producers. We
keep the topic producer oriented, with the goal of bringing pork producers relevant information
that they can bring back to the farm.
Today’s podcast answers the question: what is the PRRSV resistant pig, and how might it affect the swine industry?
