PIC has been working for years to find a solution to porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) because the problem is only getting worse, says Matt Culbertson, chief operating officer at PIC.

“Iowa State University just published a new study that shows growing losses from PRRS cost pork producers $1.2 billion per year in the U.S. That estimate is up from the previous estimates of $664 million in 2006 to 2010 and $560 million in 2000 to 2005,” he points out.

That’s why PIC is excited about the PRRS-resistant pig and the significant benefits it will provide for the animals, pork producers and its food system partners.
