PRRS Risk Assessment Tool Training
7:30 am - 1:00 pm
Location: Marina 5
Fee: No charge
Limit: 15 participants
Coordinator: Derald Holtkamp
What does PRRS Risk Assessment do? As with anything we try to manage, we must first be able to measure it. The PRRS Risk Assessment (PRA) for the Breeding Herd is an epidemiological tool developed specifically to measure the risk that a clinical episode of PRRS will occur. A companion database of completed assessments is maintained for benchmarking and analysis of risks.
Veterinarians have applied the PRRS Risk Assessment for the Breeding Herd in the following ways:
- To evaluate current biosecurity protocols and/or to develop new biosecurity protocols to avoid risk
- To demonstrate improvement in biosecurity over time to help justify expenditure of resources on measures to improve biosecurity
- As an aid in the decision to initiate a project to eliminate PRRSv from a breeding herd site
a.
Also to identify modifiable risk factors in an effort to increase the likelihood that an elimination project will be successful long-term
- As an aid in the decision to use a breeding herd site to produce genetic animals
- To communicate risks and the importance of biosecurity procedures to clients or production personnel
- As part of the due diligence process for purchases or contracting agreements
Veterinarians who have been previously trained on the spreadsheet version of the Risk Assessment Tool will need to attend a training session in order to use the web version. Those who have not previously used the PRRS Risk Assessment Tool are also encouraged to participate in order to take advantage of the opportunities afforded by use of the tool. The new version offers improved ease of use as well as enhanced reporting and analysis capabilities.
You will need to bring a laptop with MS Windows 2000 or XP or Vista that can access the internet via wireless connection. If you will not be able to bring a laptop that meets the specs you may share a laptop with another participant. Lunch will be provided.
Entrance examination: American Board of Veterinary Practitioners, Swine Health Management
8:00 am - 12:00 noon
PQA Plus Advisor Training
8:00 am – 4:00 pm
Location: Harbor Island III
Fee: $75.00; Box lunch provided
Limit: 30 participants
As producers’ PQA III status expires, PQA Plus certification, focusing on food safety and animal care, will take its place. To be qualified to certify producers and to ensure the information about food safety and animal care given to producers is uniform and consistent, all those eligible to be a PQA Plus Advisor must attend a training program and register as a PQA Plus Advisor. The animal care assessment process and the PQA Plus Advisor’s roles and responsibilities associated with the care and well-being assessments and verification will be covered. Also emphasized will be the distinction between PQA Plus education certification and PQA Plus site status.
Registration for this training is limited to US members. Co-sponsored by National Pork Board
PRE-CONFERENCE SEMINARS

This seminar will demonstrate tools for improving data management, improving quality of information, effectively implementing process/project improvement with the goal to continuously improve business and veterinary medical decisions using better evidence.
Web tools are being developed to better capture and analyze the relationship between disease syndromes, lesions, disease agents, diagnosis, interventions, and outcomes. Data from on-farm surveillance, diagnostic submissions, performance monitors, and intervention strategies are collected in a data warehouse. Web-based business intelligence analytical tools are used to gain insight into problem definition, intervention, and outcome and include mechanisms for continuous improvement.
This seminar will use cases (projects) and demonstrate a systematic process to illustrate these concepts the program will be integrated into case-based discussion that flows through the entire seminar.

Seminar #6: Foreign Animal Disease: What you always wanted to know about animal disease disasters but were afraid to ask
Seminar Chair: Patrick Webb
8:00 am - 12:00 noon
Have you been involved in your state’s emergency vet response team trainings? Have you spent time in meetings learning about emergency response to animal disease disasters? Still don’t understand the incident command system? Do you wonder how it all fits together if “it” hits the fan? Do you want to have fun learning in a highly interactive seminar? Then this year’s AASV FAD seminar is just the ticket for you!
Imagine a little town in rural America called Hopeless, a small community surrounded by serene pastures and supported by a vibrant agricultural economy. Imagine your producers happily going along with their business when disaster strikes with a confirmed positive case of foot and mouth disease. Imagine what happens to your community when agriculture comes to a screeching halt. Imagine what your role would be in trying to save your community.
Well, this year, you won’t have to imagine because the little town of Hopeless will be right in front of you, and the fate of this community will be squarely in your hands! You will be a part of the effort to put all of the pieces together: diagnosing the first case, mobilizing the local response, controlling and eradicating the disease, and getting back to “business as usual.” And yes, you may just have some fun doing it. If you miss this seminar, you will miss a one-of-a-kind tabletop experience that allows you to be a key player in a hands-on interactive environment.
Faculty: Bruce Spence and Patrick Webb
Seminar #7: How to Manage Sick Pigs
Seminar Chair: Paul Yeske
8:00 am - 12:15 pm
While the goal is to have healthy pigs, we realize that not all groups of pigs are healthy. No one wants to talk about problem groups of pigs, but it is something we as practitioners all have to deal with. This session is designed to answer questions on dealing with these problem groups and flows of pigs. The speakers will outline and make sure you’re meeting the special needs for these groups without adding additional stress to an already problem situation. Speakers will summarize what these needs are and several practitioners will share what they do on their farms and production systems. This will be a real hands-on type of discussion on how we can improve pigs we know are challenged so they can be more productive.
8:00 Why are we having to deal with these problems?
Paul Yeske
8:20 What do we really need for facilities to avoid adding stress to already stressed pigs (stocking density, feeder space, number of waterers, etc)?
Mike Brumm
8:50 What can we do nutritionally to help these pigs start better (does it pay to spend more money)?
Joel Spencer
9:30 How do you know if the pigs are comfortable in their environment (and what do you do if it isn’t right)?
Mike Eisenmenger
10:00 BREAK
What we are doing in our system to handle challenged pigs or flows:

Seminar #8: Practice Tips
Seminar Chair: Max Rodibaugh
8:00 am - 12:00 noon
Where else can you get 3 ½ hours of “take home” advice from twenty wise and esteemed colleagues? This practice tips session will provide rapid fire information that you can obtain only by attending, as these busy swine vets were not asked to write papers or even supply titles. Who knows what you might learn? The seminar will be fun, interesting, and educational. And it will be peer-reviewed by you! You will have the opportunity to vote for the “People’s Choice” practice tips by rating each presentation.
