Shirk Rd., New Holland, PA 17557 717-354-6066 Service Distributors Installations Pennsylvania is a significant part of the U.S. pork industry, and producers in the U.S. have deter mined that PRV is a disease that they do not want to live with forever. Through representation at the NPPC delegate session, U.S. pork producers have set the goal to eli minate PRV from the U.S. by the year 2000. Rabbit Conference Set UNIVERSITY PARK (Centre Co.)

Pennsylvania’s latecoming con trol program at the present time is lagging behind the rest of the U.S., and our lack of progress is being observed by the National PRV Control Committee and by other states. Our neighboring states would like Pennsylvania to control PRV so that their swine herds do not become infected with PRV from nearby swine herds in Pennsylvania. Ultimately, we need a PRV con trol program so that when other states have eliminated PRV, we are not singled out and restricted from shipping pigs interstate tow ard the end of the national PRV cleanup program. Secondly, we need a PRV con trol program for the financial bene fit of all pork producers in Pen nsylvania. PRV extracts a high cost to live with in a swine herd, through decreased reproductive efficiency, poor finisher perfor mance, and greater than usual los ses in the farrowing house. Producers who do not have PR V do not want to incur those types of losses because of PRV. We need a Pennsylvania PRV control prog ram in order to keep the total Pen nsylvania swine industry efficient, and we can help do that by stop ping the spread of and eventually the losses caused by PRV. In order to control the spread of PRV for the benefit of the total Pennsylvania swine industry, indi vidual producers must make deci sions, and some of those will be very difficult, and some will affect more than just their operation. PRV is an industry problem, but individual producers make up the industry. duction as seen by a feed represen tative; rabbit breeder selection; environmental improvement for rabbits; remedies for problems with rabbits; and how our rabbit industry is growing.
