Good shower thought! A few people have come to this idea independently for swine CAFOs.
There are a fair number of important “production-limiting diseases” in swine that are primarily spread via respiratory transmission, so this seems to me like a plausible win-win-win (as you’ve described).
This is all very “shower thought” level on my side as well, and I’d be keen for someone to think this through in more depth. Very happy to talk it through with anyone considering a more thorough investigation!
(Note my understanding is influenza is primarily a gastrointestinal illness in poultry, so I don’t think this intervention is as promising in that context.)
