Isolation and AcclimationIsolation and Acclimation
Isolation (Quarantine)To prevent disease spread from incoming gilts p p g gto the breeding herd
AcclimationManaged time necessary to familiarize gilts to life in the breeding herd

IsolationIsolation
Several hundred feet or more away from herd3 to 6 weeks only
Blood test for PRV and BrucellosisVaccinate for erysipelasObserve for clinical disease, scours, and mange
Use separate boots and overalls when handlingHave extra person care for them, or do boar chores at end of day and do not return to breeding herdat end of day and do not return to breeding herdGilts purchased at 6 months of age
Bred 1 month after arrival

IsolationIsolation
Blood test results are interpreted as follows with a veterinarian's advice:
PRV - cullB ll i llBrucellosis - cullTGE – maybe cull; contact supplier to determine when boar was exposedLeptospirosis – vaccinate (+ sample is desired)Hemophilus – cullPRRS llPRRS may cullParvovirus - vaccinate (+ sample is desired)Bordetella bronchiseptica - cullAR - cull
Di l f i l h i li i l i f di h ld bDisposal of animals showing clinical signs of disease should be done after consulting a veterinarianVaccinate with all vaccines used on sowsTreat for parasites

Heat stressHeat stress
Pigs feel heat based on both temperature and humidityand humidity
Thermoneutral zone is 45º to 70º F Humidity between 50 to 60%Heat stress affects reproduction at > 80 º F
Establish a larger cyclic gilt pool before heat stress beginsProvide a “Cool Zone” to reduce anestrus

DiseaseDisease
If gilts are going into a breeding herd with acute PPRS, then acclimation may work short-term to lessen the reproductive devastation of the disease.Gilts with infectious disease may overwhelm the immunity of older sows and cause activeimmunity of older sows, and cause active outbreaks.Acclimation does not eliminate PRRS.Closing the herd to new PRRS variants and working to get have a PRRS negative herd is the desired goalgoal.
