Nine companies compete in annual 'Shark Tank' competition
National Hog Farmer's New Product Tour once again went virtual as part of the Global Hog Industry Virtual Conference and World Pork Expo. The New Products Tour allows companies to showcase their latest products to help producers save money and improve efficiency.

Respective company representatives presented a two-minute video or sales pitch to the panel of judges, after which the judges asked questions about the product in the style of TV's "Shark Tank."

Rota Virus Prescription Platform Vaccine In 2018 the USDA Center for Veterinary Biologics (CVB) issued guidance documents allowing for the development and licensure of Prescription Production Platform Vaccines (RxPP). Medgene is leading the way as one of the few developers and manufacturers of this new vaccine category.
RxPP vaccines can use Genes of Interest from these new strains to develop current vaccines without the long wait times. Unlike autogenous vaccines, RxPP vaccines may be used in any swine herd that the attending veterinarian determines could benefit from their use.
Another distinct advantage to RxPP vaccines is for the use for emerging diseases where there is no other way possible to create a vaccine. In many cases, production of a RxPP vaccine can be done in less than twelve weeks from start to finish. Click here for more information.
