Page 8 of articles about diarrhoea

Antimicrobial resistance, virulence-associated genes, and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis profiles of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium isolated from piglets with diarrhea in Korea.

Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium was isolated from diarrheic piglets in 2 periods, 2000–2001 (n = 25) and 2005–2006 (n = 17). To compare the characteristics of the isolates collected during the 2 periods, all isolates were tested for antimicrobial resistance, the presence of virulence genes, and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) patterns.

Thompson’s tip: Sub-zero temperatures pose biosecurity challenge

The recent sub-zero temperatures pose a significant challenge for biosecurity on pig units. Unfortunately the survival of major pathogens such as dysentery is enhanced in cold weather, warns Paul Thompson, veterinary consultant to pig-breeding company ACMC Ltd.

Conditioning role of nutrition on the gut defense mechanisms

The establishment of normal gut microbial communities can also prevent the colonization of pathogenic microorganisms.

Impact of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus infection at different periods of pregnancy on subsequent reproductive performance in gilts and sows

It was concluded that natural infection of PEDV in the pregnant gilts and sows caused a reduction of subsequent reproductive performance.

Effects of dietary creep feeding on performance, blood characteristics and behaviour in sows and piglets

High energy creep feed may enhance piglet performance during the sucking period.

Supplemental zinc reduced intestinal permeability by enhancing occluding and zonula occludens protein-1 (ZO-1) expression in weaning piglets

The use of pharmacological Zn doses in weanling diets for piglets may reduce intestinal permeability against potential pathogens.

Novartis Animal Health sponsors symposium on infection prevention and control

During the recent 21st International Pig Veterinary Society (IPVS) Congress in Vancouver, Canada, Novartis Animal Health sponsored a satellite symposium entitled: “Management of pneumo-enteric infections including vector control”

Dilution in liquid feed

The supply of wet feed, when compared to dry feed, improves the rate of growth and conversion, at least these are the results of the trials carried out in the experimental stations.

Australia- Healthy outcome for pork industry

Australia’s Pork Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) has found a positive link between feeding encapsulated Zinc oxide and reducing post-weaning diarrhoea (PWD) in piglets.

Development and in vitro evaluation of an Escherichia coli probiotic able to inhibit the growth of pathogenic Escherichia coli K88

An E. coli based probiotic may produce inhibitory activity against enterotoxigenic strains for swine

NutritionAbstract

Feeding a diet with decreased protein content reduces indices of protein fermentation and the incidence of postweaning diarrhoea in weaned pigs challenged with an enterotoxigenic strain of Escherichia coli (ETEC)

Feeding a diet decreased in CP for 7 or 14 days can achieve a reduction in PWD and not cause any loss in production in postweaning period.

NutritionArticle

Dietary protein in piglet diets

In order to apply the most suitable feeding regime to newly weaned pigs it is important to balance the trade off between the detrimental effect on performance of feeding levels of protein that are too low to allow maximal growth and those which increase the risk of post weaning diarrhoea.

Antimicrobial peptides as an alternative to antibiotics in pigs nutrition

The AMPs (also called host defence peptides) are small gene encoded peptides of 1 to 5 kDa that have a broad range of activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, fungi and mycobacteria

Use of Oligosaccharides in Swine Nutrition

Our research model has been a short chain fructooligosaccharide (scFOS) fed to swine. This compound was selected because it was identified in human and swine milk, was shown to have health benefits in human infants and patients recovering from intestinal anastomosis. The health benefit was believed to occur via the trophic effect of scFOS on the Bifidobacteria population.

Effects of chito-oligosaccharide supplementation on the growth performance, nutrient digestibility, intestinal morphology, and fecal shedding of Escherichia coli and Lactobacillus in weaning pigs

Dietary supplementation of chito-oligosaccharide may enhance piglet performance at weaning

Fiber in piglet feed

Fiber includes a great variety of components with different physicochemical properties that will affect the digestive processes, separately or by combining, in properties such as solubility, viscosity, formation of gels, water retention capacity, bulkiness, endogenous secretions, nutrient absorption, fermentations, intestinal transit, etc.
