RHINISENG® significantly reduced the atrophic rhinitis lesions

until the end of the fattening period (Figure 1) in actively infected

pigs and also reduced the slaughter age (Figure 3). A significant

seroconversion to PMT and Bb was induced in actively immunised

sows, both after applying the RHINISENG® basic vaccination

scheme and after boosting during the subsequent gestation

(Figure 2). These antibodies were effectively transferred via

colostrum to protect their offspring.

RHINISENG® is a vaccine against progressive (PAR) and nonprogressive atrophic rhinitis (NPAR) indicated for pregnant sows and gilts to passively protect their offspring. The RHINISENG® recommended vaccination scheme includes a basic vaccination scheme (vaccination 8-6 weeks before farrowing and revaccination 4-3 weeks before farrowing) and a booster dose (4-3 weeks before the subsequent farrowing). This study evaluated the vaccine field efficacy of the basic vaccination scheme and the booster dose.
