The approach is capable of automatically monitoring several different behaviors of a group of pigs at the same time.

This study suggests potential pathogenesis differences between PPIV1 isolates. HPIV1 is capable of replicating in nursery pigs after experimental inoculation.

Implementation of phage application in industrial settings can be used as an additional strategy to control foodborne pathogens.

A similar M. hyopneumoniae detection pattern was observed regardless of gilt flow.

Findings unveil a key regulatory mechanism for ASFV morphogenesis and identify a relevant novel target for the development of therapeutic tools.

PRRS virus persistence in processing fluids was not affected by the sow parity effect in most of the breeding herds studied.

These findings provide deep insights into the molecular characteristics, genetic diversity, pathogenicity, antigenicity, and evolution of CSFV strains in Vietnam.

Prebiotic supplementation in sows could enhance piglet immunity.

Gama-aminobutyric acid supplementation reduces liver inflammation improving the feed conversion ratio of growing-finishing pigs.

The goal of this work was to profile, with molecular methods, A. suis isolated from diseased pigs and to compare them to other isolates.

Probiotics supplementation in weanling diet may reduce risk of diarrhea in challenged piglets while combined with prebiotic compounds may reduce diarrhea in severe scenarios.

Infectious ASF virus particles were rapidly destroyed at day 3.

A high frequency of porcine rotavirus A was detected in lungs from pigs with respiratory disease.

Drier conditions substantially increased the use of bait sites by wild pigs.

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.

The study shows it is feasible to use a system to quantify the water use and wastage patterns of pigs in farm buildings.

Future research is needed to generate data on the main factors influencing the survival and transmission of ASFV in feed material.

For this trial, dry disinfectant was the most efficacious in reducing the viral RNA on both boots and subsequent surfaces.

Little evidence was found that most scents attracted wild pigs.

Approaches to ASF vaccinology and the key constraints involved in the scale-up and commercialization of vaccine candidates.

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.

Preliminary results displayed a great potential for disease detection and characterization using salivary biomarkers profiling.

It may take two weeks or longer to detect ASF in a finisher swine herd via mild clinical signs or increased mortality.

Farmers could achieve and maintain the Raised Without Antibiotics status through farm-specific coaching related to prudent antimicrobial usage and improved biosecurity.
