Improving the management procedures in farms infected with the Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome virus using PDP models

Abstract Pig meat production need to be built up in the future due to the increase of the human population worldwide. To address this challenge, there is plenty of room for improvement in terms of pig production efficiency that could be severely hampered by the presence of diseases. In this sense, P...
