As the industry turns more and more to Mhp elimination as an effective intervention, how do you decide if that's the right strategy for your operation? And if you have already deployed a management strategy, how do you know if you're maintaining a negative or controlled status with confidence on each of your farm sites? Those questions and more will be answered by this expert panel of presenters that will also share more information about a new Mhp management program, a supporting comprehensive diagnostic solution, as well as the latest in PCR diagnostic technology.

  • Better understand cost of Mhp, production and performance impacts, how to make the most appropriate intervention decision for your operation

  • Learn about how Mhp Guardian, a new Mhp comprehensive program that can help move your positive herds into a negative or more stable status and keep them there

  • And, the benefits of STOMP PLUS, a Zoetis diagnostic service that supports the Mhp Guardian multi-step process, from establishing herd status to monitoring intervention outcomes

  • Lack of viability differentiation has been a limiting factor for the diagnosis of Mhp, especially when assessing interventions in the field. Hear about the latest use of a viability PCR that can aid in interpretation of results
