Assessing the role of sow parity on PRRSv detection
PRRS virus persistence in processing fluids was not affected by the sow parity effect in most of the breeding herds studied.
Genotypic diversity of classical swine fever virus field strains
These findings provide deep insights into the molecular characteristics, genetic diversity, pathogenicity, antigenicity, and evolution of CSFV strains in Vietnam.
Effect of galacto-oligosaccharides supplementation in gestation on Rotavirus A specific antibodies in colostrum, microbiome and infectivity in neonatal piglets
Prebiotic supplementation in sows could enhance piglet immunity.
GABA reduces hepatic inflammation in growing-finishing pigs from high parity sows
Gama-aminobutyric acid supplementation reduces liver inflammation improving the feed conversion ratio of growing-finishing pigs.
Actinobacillus suis isolated from diseased pigs are phylogenetically related but harbour different number of toxin gene copies in their genomes
The goal of this work was to profile, with molecular methods, A. suis isolated from diseased pigs and to compare them to other isolates.

Ceva Animal Health unveils new global headquarters: a strategic ..Synbiotic effect of combining short-chain fructo-oligosaccharides with S. cerevisiae Sc 47 in weaned pigs challenged with E. coli F4+
Probiotics supplementation in weanling diet may reduce risk of diarrhea in challenged piglets while combined with prebiotic compounds may reduce diarrhea in severe scenarios.
Composting for the disposal of ASFV-infected swine carcasses
Infectious ASF virus particles were rapidly destroyed at day 3.
Identification of pulmonary infections with porcine rotavirus A in pigs with respiratory disease
A high frequency of porcine rotavirus A was detected in lungs from pigs with respiratory disease.
The best conditions for baiting wild pigs
Drier conditions substantially increased the use of bait sites by wild pigs.
Characterization and cross-protection of SeCoV and two PEDV variants
In homologous re-challenged pigs, no clinical signs or lesions were observed, while prior exposition to a different PEDV G1b variant or SeCoV only provided partial cross-protection.
Water consumption and wastage behaviour in pigs: implications for antimicrobial administration and stewardship
The study shows it is feasible to use a system to quantify the water use and wastage patterns of pigs in farm buildings.

AbstractBoot bath efficacy with wet and dry disinfectants for PEDV and PRRSV
For this trial, dry disinfectant was the most efficacious in reducing the viral RNA on both boots and subsequent surfaces.
Attracting wild boars: Season and location matter more than scent
Little evidence was found that most scents attracted wild pigs.
ASF control and prevention: an update on vaccine development
Approaches to ASF vaccinology and the key constraints involved in the scale-up and commercialization of vaccine candidates.
Detection of multiple lineages of PRRSV in breeding and growing swine farms
This study demonstrated the presence of multiple PRRSV lineages, sub-lineages, and variants in swine herds and its potential association with swine reproductive performance under field conditions.
Association between stress and immune response activations in different diseases
Preliminary results displayed a great potential for disease detection and characterization using salivary biomarkers profiling.
African Swine Fever
All the information about ASF: how to recognize the disease, how it is transmitted, pictures of lesions, latest news, guides, etc.
Predicting the time to detect moderately virulent ASF virus in finisher swine herds
It may take two weeks or longer to detect ASF in a finisher swine herd via mild clinical signs or increased mortality.
Determining the characteristics of farms that raise pigs without antibiotics
Farmers could achieve and maintain the Raised Without Antibiotics status through farm-specific coaching related to prudent antimicrobial usage and improved biosecurity.
First detection of porcine circovirus type 2e in Europe
This is the first report of the detection and genetic characterisation of the PCV-2e genotype in Europe, from sows on a farm in Italy.
Evidence of viral survival in feed and feed ingredients during long-distance commercial transport
Viral pathogens of pigs can survive in representative volumes of feed and feed ingredients during long-distance commercial transport across the continental United States.
Evidence of influenza A infection and risk of transmission between pigs and farmworkers
Results emphasize the need to implement surveillance and transmission preventive protocols at the pig/human interface.
Stability of Senecavirus A in animal feed ingredients and infection following consumption of contaminated feed
Feed matrices are able to extend the survival of Senecavirus A and consumption of contaminated feed can lead to productive Senecavirus A infection.
