PCV2 infection before and during an outbreak of PMWS on a pig farm in the UK
The findings of this study highlight the potential role of the immune status of the sow on the occurrence of PMWS.
Diagnostic perspectives on mesocolon edema syndrome of neonatal pigs: laboratory case incidence in the north central United States (2002-2011)
Annualized data analysis suggested that MES has become more prevalent as a cause of neonate pig diarrhea over this interval, and that this rise in prevalence has been due to an increasing presence of C. perfringens.
Medicinal herbs on polymorphonuclear neutrophil immune activity and small intestinal morphology in weanling pigs
Dietary supplementation of Chinese medicinal herbs may improves intestinal health and nutrient digestibility in weanling pigs.
Protective effect of the maternally derived porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2)-specific cellular immune response in piglets by dam vaccination against PCV2 challenge
Maternally derived adaptive cellular immune responses play a critical role in protecting newborn piglets challenging PCV2 at 3 weeks of age.
Antimicrobial susceptibility of Listeria monocytogenes, Listeria ivanovii, and Listeria species isolated from swine processing facilities in Colombia
Resistance to clindamycin and ciprofloxacin are shared between L monocytogenes and untyped Listeria. Although erythromycin is a drug of choice for prophylaxis in Colombian swine, resistance is low.
Emergency vaccination alleviates highly pathogenic porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus infection after contact exposure
These results indicated that emergency vaccination could effectively alleviate HPPRRSV infection during experimental contact exposure.
Spray-dried animal plasma on weanling pigs administered a PCV2 and M. hyopneumoniae vaccine strategy
Early administration of spray-dried animal plasma may stimulate feed intake in weanling pigs.
Dose-dependent effects of dietary zinc oxide on bacterial in weaned pigs
Ileal bacterial community composition of weaned pigs is modified depending on the level of dietary ZnO.
PMWS: Disease progression and a proposal for herd case definition
Two conditions must be fulfilled to diagnose PMWS in a herd: a significant increase in postweaning mortality and PMWS must be diagnosed in at least one of three to five necropsied pigs.
Increased viral load and prevalence of Torque teno sus virus 2 in pigs experimentally infected with classical swine fever virus
This study further supports the association of TTSuV2 with disease occurrence.
Dose-response investigation of oral ketoprofen in pigs challenged with Escherichia coli endotoxin
The appropriate dose of orally administered ketoprofen in pigs in this model is 2 mg/kg.
Effect of sow and piglet porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) vaccination on piglet mortality, viraemia, antibody titre and production parameters
PCV2 vaccination was able to overcome this interference since the ADWG was improved.
Mannan oligosaccharide modulates the immune responses in weanling pigs
Feeding mannan oligosaccharide may activate immunity against PRRSV.
Potential use of oral fluid samples for serological diagnosis of African swine fever
These results confirmed the presence of ASFV antibodies in swine oral fluids samples, the possibility of an oral fluid-based approach in ASF diagnosis and, potentially in ASF surveillance.
Concentration of airborne Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA and MSSA) in pig farms
The aim of this study was to assess the potential occupational risk of working with Staphylococcus aureus-colonized pigs in Switzerland.
