New neonatal porcine diarrhoea in Denmark - a clinical description
The aim of this study was to make a clinical description of NNPD and to establish which pathogens are associated with NNPD.

Brachyspira-associated colitis in swine
Two species of Brachyspira are well-recognized pathogens of pigs: B pilosicoli and B. hyodysenteriae. Recently, dysentery-like disease has been reported in association with infection by strongly beta-hemolytic spirochetes which are not identified as B. hyodysenteriae.
Alberta Pork Releases: Fighting Swine Dysentery: Healthy pigs mean healthy profits
When it comes to swine dysentery, an ounce of prevention can save you a ton.
Dietary clays alleviate diarrhea of weaned pigs
Clay products may help to prevent the negative impact of diarrhea in weanling piglets.
Thompson's tip: Legacy of farrowing house scour
It has been reported that the gut damage (villous atrophy) in piglets following rotavirus infection can persist for up to 30 days.
Age-dependent competition of porcine ETEC with different fimbria genes
F4 fimbriae are highly associated with diarrhoea in piglets of all age groups whereas F18 fimbriae are associated with diarrhoea in piglets from late stages of suckling to post-weaning.
A high dietary concentration of inulin is necessary to reduce the incidence of swine dysentery
80 g/kg dietary inulin may protect pigs against developing swine disentery by modifying the microbiota in the gastrointestinal tract.
Odds ratios as a field diagnostic tool
Patterns of association are quite helpful in helping focus resources whether that is time, money, or any intervention we are seeking to implement.
Glutamine supplementation improves intestinal barrier function in a weaned piglet model of Escherichia coli infection
Glutamine supplementation may be useful in reducing the severity of weaning-related gastrointestinal infections.
Clinical case: High mortality pneumonia in the finishing phase.
Approximately 15-20 days after entering the growth phase, generalized coughing and weight loss were noted. The morbidity rate was almost 30% and the mortality rate was 4-6 %.
Metabolic impact of zinc oxide on porcine intestinal cells and enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli K88
The role of zinc oxide in improving piglet health is via a different mechanism to that previously proposed.
Learning how to eat like a pig: Facilitating vertical information transfer to reduce weaning problems in piglets
The aim of this thesis was to explore whether providing piglets with more opportunities to learn from their mother about what, how and where to eat increases food intake before and after weaning and consequently can reduce health and welfare problems after weaning.
Effect and interaction between wheat bran and zinc oxide (ZnO) on productive performance and intestinal health in post-weaning piglets
The incorporation of wheat bran or ZnO in the diet improved gut health, but the simultaneous incorporation of both compounds increased E. coli counts, indicating a negative interaction.
Diarrhea in lactating piglets: differential diagnostic
Here we present a table of differential diagnosis of the most common diarrheas during lactation.
Infection in pigs due to Rotavirus
Rotaviruses are important enteric pathogens that affect newborns of several animal species. In swine, they can cause gastroenteritis in piglets.
Coccidiosis
Although pigs can be infected with different species of coccidia, in suckling piglets the most important disease caused by enteric protozoa is coccidiosis due to Isospora suis.
