Analysis of factors associated with mortality of heavy slaughter pigs during transport and lairage
The study assess the effects of the month, slaughter house of destination, length of the journey, and temperature–humidity index on mortality of heavy slaughter pigs during transport and lairage.
Herd-level risk factors for the seropositivity to Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae
Farms that use living animals for the exposure to gilts during the acclimatization and farms that had increased number of weaned piglets per sow and year were less likely to test positive for M. hyopneumoniae and less likely to develop clinical symptoms of EP in fattening pigs.
The water disappearance and manure production at commercial growing-finishing pig farms
The results obtained at the commercial growing-finishing farms show that in uncontrolled conditions the water disappearance and manure production are significantly influenced by the drinker type.
Relationship between biosecurity level and antimicrobial use in the pig industry
Biosecurity is a useful measure to promote the reduction of antimicrobial use in the pig industry.
