Antimicrobial activity and effect on growth performance of supplementing Nigella sativa L. on weanling piglets
Nigella sativa supplementation in weanling diets improves feed efficiency and reduces E.coli populations in piglets.
Protected organic acids impact on performance and fecal microbiota in weanling
Dietary inclusion of protected organic acids may be useful as a suitable alternative to antibiotics.
A comparative study of the effects of Escherichia coli and Clostridium perfringens upon boar semen preserved in liquid storage
The effects of infection by E. coli were dependent of both bacterial load and storage period, whereas the effects of C. perfringens were mainly dependent on the bacterial load.
Sodium butyrate supplementation in lactating sows and nursery pigs
Coated sodium butyrate supplementation may improve immunoglobulin concentration in milk.
Blend of organic acids and medium chain fatty acids reduces diarrhoea in piglets challenged with ETEC K88
Organic acid supplementation in weanling diets improves piglet performance and reduced diarrhoea.
Prevalence and factors associated with the occurrence of bacterial enteropathogens in suckling piglets in farrow-to-finish herds
The aim of the study was to determine both environmental and infectious factors, influencing occurrence of bacterial enteropathogens in suckling piglets.
Medium chain fatty acids and/or Enterococcus faecium supplement for piglets feed
Positive antibacterial effect of the combination of medium chain fatty acids and probiotics in weanling diets.
A 10-day vacancy period after cleaning and disinfection has no effect on the bacterial load in pig nursery units
Prolonging the vacancy period in nursery units to 10 days after disinfection with no extra biosecurity measures has no impact on the environmental load of total aerobic flora, E. coli, faecal coliforms, MRSA and Enterococcus spp..
Characterization of ESBL–producing Escherichia coli isolates from pigs and farm workers
ESBL-producing E. coli isolates with the same β-lactamase genes, antibiotic resistance profiles, enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus types, and multilocus sequence types were detected in both pigs and workers on the same pig farm.
Shedding of cephalosporin resistant Escherichia coli in pigs from conventional farms
Intervention strategies targeting sows would likely have a beneficial effect in reducing the occurrence of antimicrobial resistance in primary pig production.
Effects of ceftiofur treatment on the susceptibility of commensal porcine E.coli
The present study shows that treatment of several animals in a stable with ceftiofur influences the resistance pattern of intestinal Escherichia coli of the treated as well as untreated animals housed in the same stable.
Emergence of plasmid-mediated colistin resistance mechanism
During a routine surveillance project on antimicrobial resistance in commensal Escherichia coli from food animals in China, a major increase of colistin resistance was observed.
Impact of the use of ß-lactam antimicrobials on the emergence of E. coli isolates resistant to cephalosporins
The results suggest that the use of ceftiofur and amoxicillin at different stages of the rearing cycle are independent risk factors for the selection of CR E. coli.
Low dietary protein decreases ETEC proliferation and attachment in the intestinal mucosa
Low-protein diets with balances amino acid profile decrease ETEC colonization in jejunal mucosa.
Effects of ambient temperature on energy and nitrogen utilization in lipopolysaccharide-challenged growing pigs
In conclusion, our study confirms that high temperature reduces feed intake, growth performance, and HP.
