Testimonial
of a Veterinarian
I was made aware of MJ Biologics in late
2006 and I contacted some of the veterinarians who were using
the product and decided to try it in my clinic. I service only
independent producers who are mainly farrow to finish. PRRS
has been a frustrating disease and many herds have several strains
that exist within them. The autogenous vaccine route gave only
marginal success as cross protection was virtually zero. The
MJ system is unique because it provides for a different mechanism
to evaluate PRRS viruses and attempt to predict their cross
protectivity. I had two vaccines made in 2007 and applied it
to 10 farms. All of these farms have had repeated clinical outbreaks
in the past. By using the vaccine in herds with a history of
PRRSV, we have been able to prevent prenatal losses while stabilizing
the herds and simultaneously protecting the sow population against
clinical disease outbreaks from 'new' virus strains entering
the herd. I have confidence that this technology and this product
concept will greatly help to reduce clinical disease and viremic
pigs. I will continue to apply the product to more farms as
producers inquire about enhancing the protection plan for their
herds.
