This news indicates that advanced environmental surveillance for PRRSV in swine operations can potentially lead to earlier detection of disease, reducing losses and stabilizing pork supply in the medium term, so you should factor this risk mitigation into your sourcing strategies. While this specific advancement is for disease detection, be aware of other emerging technologies that could impact protein availability and pricing.
