Abstract
A standardized system for classifying the porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) status of swine herds is necessary for communication between veterinarians and producers. The 2011 classification system has been widely adopted by producers and veterinarians worldwide. In 2018, a working group met to revisit the system and make recommendations for changes. The most significant modification was to the classification of positive unstable and positive stable breeding herds. Recommended diagnostic protocols for promotion of herds to each status were modified and recommended diagnostic protocols to maintain a status were added. The growing pig classification for PRRSV was also modified.
