75% of hogs that carry the disease is a very high rate. Id Have to see the study that statistic came from to beleive it. Then again I dont think I wanna know how many hogs around here carry it.
I had 28 pigs tested in an attempt to be TDAC and Sunset compliant for a bay competition that I held. Of those 28 pigs, 21, exactly 75%, came back PSR positive. I may still have the testing report from aTm around somewhere. If I come across it, Ill scan and post it.
The good news is that interspecies communication of the disease is rather difficult. Otherwise, we would be loosing dogs constantly.

Pretty sure my numbers came from the vet that pulled the blood on your hogs....if it was done in Betram. From what he said...it was the most dangerous in shoats in a 4-5 day window and the pigs blood had to come in contact with an open wound of the dog.
Not 100% sure but something to that nature.
