Whole genome PRRSv sequencing is a topic that has already been discussed in more detail in some earlier episodes, with Dr. Linhares and Dr. Trevisan. But regardless of how important it is, its applicability at a university, inside a lab, may be different than its use for producers. So how does this method apply to vets working on a farm? In today’s episode, I talk with Dr. Joel Sparks about his experience with using whole genome PRRS sequencing to test for PRRSv in commercial facilities, and how
