2014 was a very rough year for the swine community with the outbreak of Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea -- a deadly virus that took the lives of 8 million piglets across the United States and devastated the pork industry.

Harrisvaccines responded immediately, and using its patented SirraVaxSM technology to analyze the gene sequences of PED, the company was able to commercialize a vaccine.
