A METHOD TO CERTIFY AI BOAR CENTERS FREE OF AR TOXIGENIC PASTEURELLA MULTOCIDA

摘要

To eradicate Progressive Atrophic Rhinitis (PAR) since 1988, breeding farms can voluntarily be examined and certified free of AR toxigenic Pasteurella multocida (ARtoxPM) in the Netherlands. In 2001 all 550 Dutch breeding farms are participating in this program. The Artificial Insemination (AI) centers obtain about 80 % of the boars of these certified herds.
