Forty-fi ve percent of losses come about in the reproductive form of the disease; dead fetuses, abortions and respiratory disease in newborns, according to Row-land’s contributed work in Nature’s Scientifi c Report. Rowland, professor of diagnostic medicine and pathobiology in the College of Veterinary Medicine, is focused on protecting offspring from the PRRS virus during pregnancy. For Rowland, the fi rst step is to focus on females without the CD163 protein, which is the receptor for the virus, because of their resistance to PRRS. “We have created a protective shell against the PRRS virus during the reproductive phase of production,” Rowland says. “The offspring does not become in-fected during pregnancy and is born a healthy piglet. During this critical phase of production, we have essentially ended a disease.”Along with Randall Prather, a professor at the Univer-sity of Missouri, and a team of others have worked to develop PRRS-resistant pigs. The researchers found the pigs without the CD163 protein showed no signs or evidence of being infected with PRRS. Professor Rowland says although the pig is born healthy it may still be susceptible to the disease later on. “This is one tool that we can use,” Rowland says. “It doesn’t mean that we can give up on vaccines or diagnostics, but it does create more opportunities for other tools to become more effective. Because the pig is born healthy, it will respond better to a vaccine or a diagnostic test. We are enhancing other aspects of disease control as well.”“It is a unique way of tackling viral disease. It is truly a game-changer.” — Bob RowlandRaymond “Bob” Rowland, professor of diagnostic medicine and pathobiology at Kansas State University, is involved in a col-laborative project that has developed pigs that are resistant to the devastating disease caused by the porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome, or PRRS, virus. — Photo courtesy of Kansas State Universityhttps://youtu.be/HFFDc24BhFcFollow this link to view K-State Virologist, Bob Rowland, talk about porcine reproduction and respiratory syndrome and a genetic solution to this devastating swine health problem.JANUARY 2018 | SEEDSTOCK EDGE7118 Jan SE Form.indd 7112/14/2017 8:12:22 AM**Mailing lists DO NOT contain NJSA members765.463.3594 | nationalswine.com/seedstockEDGEThe Seedstock EDGE staff strives to meet all of your advertising needs.

It is truly an honor to share with you all once again in this great publication. I want to share with you out of Romans 5:1, ”Therefore, since we have been justifi ed through faith, have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.“ I was sitting here tonight thinking about the value of peace. I mean really there is nothing more valuable than being at peace with ourselves and the only way to fi nd peace is through Jesus Christ. You see no matter the situation we fi nd ourselves in if we have Jesus we have peace. God desires each of us to live a life that is full of peace. There is no need in existing on this earth living a life of worry and turmoil but the choice truly is ours. The Bible talks a lot about choices. I guess that’s because he desires us to CHOOSE him and peace. My prayer for each of you is that you stop and turn everything over to a savior and his name is Jesus. There you will fi nd the peace you have been searching for. We love you all and look forward to seeing you down the road.
