Can environmental nebulization of lavender essential oil improve welfare and modulate nasal microbiota of growing pigs?
The study suggests lavender essential oil may improve the welfare of growing pigs. Inhalation of lavendar reduced the nasal microbiome diversity.
African swine fever virus DNA is present in non-biting flies collected from outbreak farms in Romania
This study brings compelling evidence of the presence of the most common synanthropic flies near domestic pig farms carrying ASFV DNA.
Maternal flavour conditioning combined with organic and inorganic iron-supplemented creep feed on piglet and the effect on performance and haemoglobin status
Maternal flavor conditioning may improve the acceptance and efficacy of iron-supplemented creep feed as an alternative to iron injections in piglets.
Intradermal needle-free injection prevents ASF transmission, while intramuscular needle injection does not
This study confirmed the hematogenous transmission of African Swine Fever virus between pigs through needle-sharing.
A diagnostic approach to confirm Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae “Day zero” for pathogen eradication
Sampling guidelines proposed in this study can be used for verification of M. hyopneumoniae infection of gilts following exposure to determine Day 0 of herd closure.

𝗖𝗮𝗽𝘀𝘂𝗹𝗲 𝟮: Luís Sanjoaquín (Thinkinpig) explains what 𝗘𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸 ..Gut microbiota affects the estrus return of sows by regulating the metabolism of sex steroid hormones
Changes in gut microbial composition significantly altered the functional capacity of steroid hormone biosynthesis in the gut microbiome.
Infection prediction in swine populations with machine learning
Models provide daily infection probabilities that can be used as a benchmark to more timely support preventive and control strategies on farms.
First detection of PCV4 in swine in the United States
This study provides insights into the frequency of detection, tissue distribution, and genetic characteristics of PCV4 in the US.
Reclassification of ASFV into 7 biotypes using unsupervised machine learning
A new classification of ASFV based on comparisons performed considering the entire encoded proteome.
A cross-sectional assessment of PRRSV nucleic acid detection by RT-qPCR in serum, ear-vein blood swabs, nasal swabs, and oral swabs
Ear-vein blood swabs, nasal swabs, and oral swabs can be used as surveillance samples for detecting PRRSV RNA by RT-qPCR in weaning-age pigs.
Space–time dynamics of African swine fever spread in the Philippines
The results here will help inform decisions intended to mitigate the impact of ASF in the Philippines and will contribute to the understanding of the epidemiological dynamics.
African Swine Fever
All the information about ASF: how to recognize the disease, how it is transmitted, pictures of lesions, latest news, guides, etc.
Pig manure treatment strategies for mitigating the spread of antibiotic resistance
The composting process can be an efficient strategy for mitigating the spread of antibiotic resistance in the environment.
A novel recombinant S-based subunit vaccine induces protective immunity against porcine deltacoronavirus challenge in piglets
Data demonstrate for the first time the protective efficacy of spike-based subunit vaccine, which could be a candidate vaccine against PDCoV.
333 Emerging Voices: Evaluating the nonspecific protection of an immunostimulant based on heat-inactivated Mycobacterium bovis against Salmonella Choleraesuis infection in pigs
Master's thesis from the Institute for Game and Wildlife Research (IREC), University of Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM). Directed by Prof. Dr. Christian Gortázar Schmidt and Prof. Dr. María de los Ángeles Risalde Moya.
Refining PRRSV-2 genetic classification based on global ORF5 sequences and investigation of their geographic distributions and temporal changes
This study refined PRRSV-2 ORF5-based phylogenetic classification and investigated the geographic distribution and temporal changes of PRRSV-2 at the lineage/sublineage levels.
Transplantation of fecal filtrate to neonatal pigs reduces post-weaning diarrhea
Early postnatal administration of fecal filtrate transplant, showed positive clinical effects in post-weaning pigs.

Integrated Master's Dissertation in Veterinary Medicine by Alice Gomes from UTAD (Portugal) advised by Professor Madalena Vieira-Pinto.
Re-evaluation of ASF genotypes reveals existence of only six distinct p72 groups
Study proposes that the current twenty-five genotypes should be reduced to only six genotypes.
Epidemiological assessment of African swine fever spread in the Dominican Republic
These results provide critical information on the current state of the ASF epidemic in the Dominican Republic.
333 Emerging voices - Tributyrin supplementation as functional feed additive positively impacts the growth performance, metabolic status and gut microbiota in weaned piglets
Doctoral thesis from the Veterinary Medicine and Animal Sciences Department, Università degli Studi di Milano (Italy), advised by Luciana Rossi.
Survival of a surrogate ASF virus-like algal virus in feed matrices using a 23-day commercial United States truck transport model
Results demonstrate that ASFV-like nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses can retain viability in swine feed matrices during long-term transport across the continental United States.
Vaccination against swine influenza in pigs causes different drift evolutionary patterns upon experimental infection and reduces likelihood of genomic reassortments
The study further emphasized the vast evolutionary capacity of swine IAV, under natural infection and vaccination pressure scenarios.
First detection of porcine circovirus 4 (PCV-4) in Europe
The relatively high prevalence in wild boar and the low prevalence in Iberian pigs suggest wild boar as a potential viral reservoir.
