USA: USDA announces new safeguards to protect consumers from foodborne illness
FSIS is proposing to launch traceback investigations earlier and identify additional potentially contaminated product when the Agency finds E. coli O157:H7 through its routine sampling program.
The use of seaweed extract in piglet diets
Seaweeds are rich in undigestible polysaccharides and are a potential source of soluble dietary fibers. The most abundant polysaccharides in brown seaweeds are laminarin, fucoidan and alginic acid.
EFSA and ECDC joint report on antimicrobial resistance in zoonotic bacteria
Resistance to several antimicrobials was commonly detected in zoonotic bacteria such as Salmonella and Campylobacter which are the main causes of reported food-borne infections in the EU.
Dietary clays alleviate diarrhea of weaned pigs
Clay products may help to prevent the negative impact of diarrhea in weanling piglets.
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.
Clinical case: A PRRS Case
This case starts with abortions that occur dramatically in April. They begin on Saturday the 23rd and during the following week continue until reaching 34 abortions.
Urinary tract infections (UTI) in the lactating sows: is it a real problem?
UTIs are among the most frequent bacterial infections in the herd but they are rarely diagnosed or taken into consideration by veterinarians.
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.
Growth performance and gastrointestinal microbial ecology responses of piglets receiving Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation products after an oral challenge with Escherichia coli (K88)
Yeast fermentation products showed better performance, especially in the presence of the active enteric disease.
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.
SDSU, Boehringer Ingelheim team up against enterotoxic E. coli
South Dakota State University is partnering with animal health leader Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica, Inc. to develop a new technology to protect pigs against a deadly form of E. coli.
Neogen launches breakthrough NeoSEEK system for rapid genomic detection and identification of emerging pathogens
Neogen Corporation has announced the development of a breakthrough pathogen detection and identification technology that provides next day, DNA-specific test results for seven pathogenic E. coli strains. The technology could be adapted to target almost any bacterium of concern in almost any food sample type.
