A technology company is working to limit the impact of RNA and DNA viruses in the swine industry. Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) is an RNA virus and African swine fever is a DNA virus.
Thomas Lawton, director of sales with Germ Solutions, says the technology used inflicts what he calls a mortal wound to a virus like PRRS. “It takes the free oxygen and the free water molecules in the air and it turns them into essentially hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyls that are then pushed into the airborne space at very high speed,” he says.
