Rope sampling methodologies were assessed for porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) detection in 6 pens. Results showed that shared ropes detected PRRSV 50% and 66.7% of the time compared to unshared ropes. One rope provided better detection than 2 ropes per pen under the conditions of this study.
