Frequently Asked Questions

What services do swine vets provide?

Swine veterinarians offer herd health programs, disease surveillance and diagnostics, vaccination protocols (PEDv, PRRS, Mycoplasma, etc.), reproductive services, biosecurity consulting, nutrition support, and regulatory health certificates for swine movement. They work with commercial hog operations, small farms, and 4-H/show pig producers.

What is a veterinary-client-patient relationship (VCPR) and why does it matter for pig producers?

A VCPR is a legal relationship between a vet, their client (you), and the animals under care. Under the Veterinary Feed Directive (VFD), a valid VCPR is required before a vet can prescribe medically important antibiotics for your pigs — including in feed or water. Establishing a VCPR with a swine vet is essential for legal access to prescription medications.

What is PEDv?

Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea virus (PEDv) is a highly contagious coronavirus that causes severe diarrhea and vomiting in pigs of all ages — but is especially deadly for piglets, with near 100% mortality in newborns. There is no specific treatment. Your swine vet can advise on biosecurity measures and vaccination programs to protect your herd.

Do swine vets make farm calls?

Yes — most swine vets practice herd medicine and make farm visits for health assessments, diagnostic work, and biosecurity audits. Commercial operations often have vets on a regular schedule. Smaller farms and backyard pig producers should look for vets in their area willing to see small herds.

What is PRRS and how is it managed?

Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) is one of the most economically significant swine diseases in the US. It causes reproductive failure in sows and respiratory disease in pigs of all ages. There is no cure, but modified-live vaccines are available. Elimination programs using strict biosecurity and herd closure can achieve PRRS-negative status in some operations.
