AirProTec

Helping you maintain healthy stock is important to Big Dutchman. Our experts have therefore collaborated with climate technology specialists and other experienced experts to develop a fresh air filter which reliably prevents PRRS viruses from entering the house via the fresh air.

PRRS stands for Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome – relating to the pig, to reproduction and respiration. It is a disease responsible for some of the highest economic losses in global pig production.

In particular, breeding companies, multi­pliers and centres for artificial insemination must make sure that they maintain a negative PRRS status. Breeders producing larger numbers of piglets will also benefit from the filter as piglets not infected with PRRS fetch higher prices when sold. In addition to a good hygiene on the farm, transmission between farms must be pre­vented. The virus is also transmitted via the air, which can cause problems particularly in regions with a large livestock density.

With AirProTec®, Big Dutchman offers an efficient fresh air filter which significantly reduces the introduction of PRRS viruses – by up to 95 percent! This is a major advantage. Depending on the method of fresh air distribution, there are several models available: APT 20000, APT 10000 and APT 1500.
