Gene editing technology has opened new possibilities for disease control in livestock, including PRRS in pigs. We talk with Dr. Lindsay Case of PIC to learn more about the PRRS-resistant pig.
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is a highly contagious viral disease that affects pigs, causing significant economic losses. Gene editing technology has been used to develop pigs that are resistant to PRRS and that technology is currently making its way through regulatory approval in several countries.
Dr. Lindsay Case, Director, Product Sustainability and New Product Commercialization with Pig Improvement Company (PIC) - North America, joins us on this episode of Feedstuffs Pork Nation to share with hosts Mark Hulsebus of Alltech and Sarah Muirhead:
