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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
Silver nanoparticles as a potential antimicrobial additive for weaned pigs
The use of silver nanoparticles in piglet diets may reduce microbial load of the small intestine at weaning
The effect of weaner diet protein content and diet quality on the long-term performance of pigs to slaughter
High quality diets may preserve piglet intestinal health just after weaning. However, lower quality diets may be offered in piglets weaned up to 28 d
