Effect of sample collection material on the detection of PRRSV in oral fluid
Cotton rope provided the best overall diagnostic performance.
Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) infection decreases the efficacy of an attenuated classical swine fever virus (CSFV) vaccine
The aim of this study was to investigate whether PCV2 infection affects the efficacy of the LPC vaccine.
First evidence of previously undescribed trichomonad species in the intestine of pigs?
These results suggest the presence of at least two as yet undescribed trichomonad species in the intestinal contents of pigs.
Is the prevalence of Clostridium difficile in animals underestimated?
The results confirm previous suggestions that the procedure used to isolate C. difficile can have a significant impact on prevalence data for this pathogen.
Swine influenza virus infection dynamics in two pig farms; results of a longitudinal assessment
Influenza virus infection in pigs might present different patterns, from an epidemic outbreak to an endemic form with different waves of infections with a lower incidence.
Chitoligosaccharide with different molecular weight on performance, selected microbial populations and nutrient digestibility in the weaned pig
Chitooligosaccharide supplementation of different molecular weight could be an alternative to antibiotics.
An intact sialoadhesin (Sn/SIGLEC1/CD169) is not required for attachment/internalization of the porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV)
The results demonstrate that the expression of the SIGLEC1 gene is not required for infection of pigs with PRRSV and the absence of SIGLEC1 does not contribute to the pathogenesis of acute disease.
Natural vitamin E (d-α-tocopherol) supplementation in drinking water prevents oxidative stress in weaned piglets
Those piglets supplemented with natural α-tocopherol in drinking water and born from sows supplemented with the same form of vitamin E (SS-SP) had the highest serum α-tocopherol concentration at five days post-weaning.
An investigation of the impacts of induced parturition, birth weight, birth order, litter size, and sow parity on piglet serum concentrations of immunoglobulin G
Supervision of farrowing may allow for improved colostrum intake with benefits to passive immunity.
Live yeast supplementation to gestation and lactation diets on reproductive performance in sows
Live yeast supplementation may improve reproductive performance in sows.
Program of vaccination and antibiotic treatment to control polyserositis caused by Haemophilus parasuis under field conditions
The present study investigated the effects of vaccinating sows and piglets or piglets alone against Haemophilus parasuis.
Assessment of the economic impact of PRRS virus on United States pork producers
Despite over 25 years of experience and research, porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome remains a costly disease of pigs in the United States.
MRSA in pigs and farm workers on conventional and antibiotic-free swine farms in the USA
These results confirm the presence of LA-MRSA in pigs and swine farm workers in the USA, but the prevalence found is relatively low compared with European studies.
Experimental reproduction of brachyspiral colitis in pigs infected with Brachyspira hampsonii
The present study successfully demonstrated the experimental reproduction of the brachyspiral colitis caused by “B hampsonii”.
Efficacy of in-feed medication with chlortetracycline in a farrow-to-finish herd against a clinical outbreak of respiratory disease in fattening pigs
CTC, when administered at onset of clinical respiratory disease via the feed at a dose of 500 ppm during two alternative weeks, was able to decrease the prevalence of pneumonia lesions.
