We all know that PRRSV has been a big concern shared by many swine producers and veterinarians across the US. It is therefore important to determine effectively the PRRSV status of the pig population, especially at weaning age. In today's episode, I talk with Dr. Onyekachukwu Henry Osemeke about how family oral fluids (FOFs) can be used to determine PRRSV status of weaning age pigs.
Meet the guest:
Dr. Onyekachukwu Henry Osemeke obtained his DVM in 2014 from Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Nigeria. After that, Henry worked in a private clinic for about 2 years before joining the National Veterinary Research Institute, Nigeria as a Veterinary Research Officer. First working some months in the Viral vaccine production unit and then transferred to the Viral research unit of the institute.
