Torque Teno sus virus type 2 (TTSuV2) loads in serum are increased in the background of diseases affecting the immune system
These studies indicate that TTSuV2 load in serum is up-regulated in PCVD and CSF, while this did not happen with TTSuV1.
Longitudinal study on MRSA nasal colonization in a farrow to finish pig herd
The aim of this study was to contribute to better understanding of age-related changes in MRSA nasal colonization in pigs.
Economic analysis of outbreaks of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus in nine sow herds
The economic loss varied between €59 and €379 for one sow per 18-week period outbreak.
Prevalence of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae infections at weaning age in European pig herds
To date, 64 out of the 150 tested herds (42.7%) and 175 out of the 3118 tested piglets (5.6%) tested positive for M.hyo.
In-feed antibiotic effects on the swine intestinal microbiome
Medicated pigs show an increase in Proteobacteria (1–11%) compared with nonmedicated at the same time point. This shift was driven by an increase in Escherichia coli populations.
Green kiwifruit modulates the colonic microbiota in growing pigs
Gastrointestinal disorders in pigs could be discouraged by green kiwifruit consumption
Detection of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae in oral-fluid samples obtained from experimentally infected pigs
Oral-fluid testing for diagnosis of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae was evaluated over time, utilizing samples from experimentally infected pigs.
Effects of a PCV2 subclinical infection upon immunological parameters following an ADV vaccination
Effects of a PCV2 sublinical infection following an ADV vaccination.
Use estimates of in-feed antimicrobials in swine production in the United States
As an annual industry estimate for all phases, chlortetracycline had the highest estimated use. The second and third highest estimates were tylosin and oxytetracycline.
The impact of PCV2 infection on male reproductive organs of boars
The striking lesion found in the boar reproductive organs was edema of the epididymal head.
Diagnostic investigation of porcine PFTS: lack of compelling evidence linking to common porcine pathogens
A diagnostic investigation was undertaken to identify the pathological lesions of, and infectious agents associated with, pigs demonstrating typical clinical signs.
Detection and quantification of PCV2 and PCV2-antibodies in oral fluid from finisher pigs
The objective of the current study was to evaluate cotton ropes for collection and detection of PCV2 specific antibodies and DNA in oral fluid at pen level in finisher pigs.
Acute phase proteins as a tool for differential diagnosis of wasting diseases in growing pigs
The concentrations of haptoglobin (Hp), C–reactive protein (CRP) and serum amyloid A (SAA) were measured in wasted pigs.
MRSA in conventional and alternative retail pork products
No statistically significant differences were observed for the prevalence of S. aureus in general, or MSSA or MRSA specifically, when comparing pork products from conventionally raised swine and swine raised without antibiotics.
Response of young pigs to feeding potato protein and potato fibre
While potato protein concentrate is well utilized by piglets, potato fibre does not reveal evident health promoting effects.
