Shedding of cephalosporin resistant Escherichia coli in pigs from conventional farms
Diagnosis and treatment of colibacillosis in the farrowing unit
Diarrhoea is their most typical clinical manifestation, and the earlier the onset, the more harmful it is. Newborn piglets can present with another clinical picture, with signs of sepsis (shock, depression, death, polyarthritis), which is associated with an extraintestinal E. coli.
Netherlands: Screening for colistin resistance will soon be advisable
Protection of piglets against Oedema Disease by maternal immunization with Stx2e Toxoid
The article provides an alternative to the current vaccination programs that could be the solution for farms with early onset oedema disease. However, this alternative —consisting of vaccinating the dams at the end of gestation to achieve post-weaning piglets immunization—, also raises questions...
Genetic selection may be used to control pathogen susceptibility and the composition of the gut microbiota
Genetic selection provides a powerful tool to improve and maintain gut health in industrial pig production, and may in the future become a more sustainable alternative to the currently massive need for antibiotics.
Treatment strategies for intestinal diseases in weaned piglets
Single animal treatment or batch medication? in any case, the treatment and choice of medication should be done based on resistance testing.
Practical approach to the critical control points of post-weaning diarrhoea on the farm
Enric Marco sums up the essential points to control post-weaning diarrhoea in our farm.
Using phytogenic products in swine nutrition
The immunomodulatory effect —particularly anti-inflammatory— of phytogenic products added to the diet seems to play a crucial role in addressing intestinal clinical pictures in pigs.
Risk factors associated to Oedema disease in pigs
OD will normally appear after 1 or 2 weeks post-weaning and most likely associated to the presence of other risk factors.
Effects of ceftiofur treatment on the susceptibility of commensal porcine E.coli
Post-weaning E. coli immunity
In practice, and to have active-acquired antibodies ready at weaning, piglets should be immunised 10 days to 2 weeks before weaning.
Emergence of plasmid-mediated colistin resistance mechanism
Differential diagnosis of post-weaning diarrhoea in pigs
An accurate diagnosis is sometimes difficult because of the common occurrence of mixed infections, the compounding effects of environment and nutrition and the difficulties experienced in isolating and identifying all the possible pathogenic agents involved.
Subclinical prevalence of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli
This study investigated the prevalence of ETEC positive pigs in farms without clinical signs of diarrhea, and the antibiotic resistance pattern observed amongst ETEC strains isolates.
Clinical case: Control measures in an outbreak of oedema disease
A series of unsuccessful measures are taken until the problem is finally solved.
