Intervet created the ResPig® Farm Audit and Economic Simulator tools as an aid for veterinarians to analyze PRDC related farm problems and make decisions on the control of swine respiratory disease. In addition to the online tools, this web site also contains information on PRDC and Intervet pig vaccines.
