Rolling out the PRRS-resistant pig is going to be a long process.

Iowa pig farmer Mike Paustian believes it’s important to introduce the technology in a thoughtful, comprehensive manner, so everyone has a chance to get their questions answered and concerns heard.

“As an industry, we need to have a conversation about whether we want to utilize this technology and how we want to utilize it,” he adds. “There is a sense of urgency that we need to, as producers, be learning more about it and understanding what it could do for our operations.”
