Livestock producers know that viral outbreaks can be devastating, but BAC Ag is changing the game when it comes to biosecurity. According to Alec Keck, NewFields Ag Sales Development Representative Focused on Specialty Products,  “Everyone should be using BAC to protect their livestock from these devastating viral outbreaks.”

Fighting PRRS: A Deadly Threat to Swine

One of the biggest concerns for swine producers is Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS)—a highly contagious and costly disease affecting pigs worldwide. PRRS weakens immune systems, causes severe respiratory issues, and leads to reproductive failure in breeding herds. The economic toll on producers is staggering, with losses in the U.S. swine industry estimated at over $600 million annually due to increased mortality, reduced growth rates, and the cost of prevention and treatment.

How BAC Ag Helps Prevent PRRS

BAC Ag is one of the most powerful antimicrobials available, proven to stop even the toughest pathogens before they spread. In a June 2022 study, BAC Ag reduced pig mortality rates by an incredible 72%, demonstrating its effectiveness in preventing outbreaks like PRRS. Unlike mainstream disinfectants, BAC Ag is botanical-based with no synthetic ingredients, making it safe yet powerful against harmful viruses and bacteria.

Alec Keck highlights its ease of use and safety, stating, “It’s safe for skin contact, inhalation, and ingestion, which means it can be sprayed directly on animals, and the user.” This means that farmers can apply BAC Ag directly to pigs, barns, and equipment without risk, creating an extra layer of protection against PRRS and other diseases.

In addition to its effectiveness and safety, BAC Ag is environmentally friendly and can be disposed of through regular methods, ensuring a sustainable approach to livestock biosecurity.

The Time to Act is Now

With PRRS continuing to pose a significant threat to swine health and farm profitability, producers need a proven biosecurity solution. BAC Ag offers a natural, powerful, and safe way to combat PRRS and other infectious diseases, helping to keep herds healthy and operations running smoothly.
