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.

Keratinase affects performance and intestinal morphology and ecology of piglets fed diets with different levels of crude protein
Keratinase supplementation has a positive effect on the performance of weanling piglets fed corn-soybean diets.
Protection of European domestic pigs from virulent African isolates of African swine fever virus by experimental immunization
Experimental immunisation of pigs with the non-virulent OURT88/3 genotype I isolate from Portugal followed by the closely related virulent OURT88/1 genotype I isolate could confer protection against challenge with virulent isolates from Africa.
Effect of source and quantity of dietary vitamin D in maternal and creep diets on bone metabolism and growth in piglets
Offspring of sows provided 25-hydroxycholecalciferol obtained a markedly improved vitamin D status.
Dietary sow supplementation influences growth rate of pigs post weaning
Piglets suckling SWE-supplemented sows had an enhanced humoral immunity, greater percentage positive of E. coli phagocytising leukocytes and suppressed colonic E. coli population
Immune response and blood chemistry of pigs fed conjugated linoleic acid
Feeding conjugated linoleic acid up to 1.0% to growing-finishing pigs does not significantly alter either immune system (innate or cell-mediated) or blood chemistry variables.
Optimal combinations of acute phase proteins for detecting infectious disease in pigs
Combinations of APPs allowed the detection of disease more sensitively than any individual APP and the best three-protein combinations were CRP, apoA1, pigMAP and CRP, apoA1, Hp, respectively, closely followed by the two-protein combinations CRP, pigMAP and apoA1, pigMAP, respectively.
Maternally derived antibodies at the time of porcine circovirus type 2 vaccination: does it matter?
One issue is to overcome maternal immunity, which is true for all PCV2 vaccines in the market, and another is whether the most from these vaccines is achieved independently of the PCV2 antibody titre at vaccination
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus-induced immunosuppression exacerbates the inflammatory response to porcine respiratory coronavirus in pigs
We performed a comprehensive analysis of innate and adaptive immune responses in dual-virus infected pigs to understand whether a pre-existing immunomodulatory respiratory viral infection affects the overall immunity to a subsequent porcine respiratory coronavirus (PRCV) infection in pigs.
Effects of fibre and floor space allowance on group kept dry sow well-being
Sow welfare may be directly related with floor space allowance and dietary fibre.
Pfizer Animal Health To Acquire Synbiotics Corporation, Entering Diagnostics Sector
Pfizer Animal Health today announced an agreement to acquire Synbiotics Corporation (Pinksheets SYNB.PK), a privately held, Kansas City-based leader in the development, manufacture and marketing of immunodiagnostic tests for companion and food production animals.
Effects of space allocation on growth performance and immune system in weaning pigs
Stress caused by reduced space allocation may disrupt the cellular immune system in piglets and stimulate the releases of cortisol.
Effects of fermented garlic powder on growth performance and blood profiles of weanling pigs
The use of fermented garlic powder in weanling diet may improve piglet weight gain.
Viability of Lactobacillus plantarum in different protective agents and its effects on growth performance and immunity of weaned pigs
The use of Lactobacillus plantarum as a probiotic, may improve growth performance and immunity in piglets.
Dynamics and longevity of maternally-acquired antibodies to Taenia solium in piglets born to naturally infected sows
The observed variations in the level of maternally-acquired Abs amongst piglets will pose a major challenge to the implementation of vaccination programmes against T. solium cysticercosis.
Administration of Pediococcus acidilactici or Saccharomyces cerevisiae boulardii modulates development of porcine mucosal immunity and reduces intestinal bacterial translocation after Escherichia coli challenge
Porcine mucosal immune response against E coli may be modulated by dietary probiotic supplementation.
