In this episode of "Inside the Helix," Dr. Christine Mainquist-Whigham reviews both field data and trial results aimed at evaluating the timing of pig vaccinations. She and Brady McNeil, a co-investigator on the Production R&D committee for this study, compare livability, growth, and feed consumption between two pig vaccination programs and how the results have driven decision-making surrounding these programs. They also discuss the practical implications of implementation, labor, and theoretical ROI for each program.
