Drier conditions substantially increased the use of bait sites by wild pigs.

This study demonstrated the presence of multiple PRRSV lineages, sub-lineages, and variants in swine herds and its potential association with swine reproductive performance under field conditions.

A motion monitoring system based on artificial vision may be used indoors to trigger suspicions of fever.

Simulations predict a decline in pig production, increase in pork prices, and a slight decrease in per capita calorie availability in China.

This is, to our knowledge, the first report of a promising vaccine against ASF virus in wild boar by oral administration.

The findings of this study emphasize the importance of considering transmission of FMD during the incubation phase in modeling and response planning.

Levels of natural autoantibody-binding phosphorylcholine-conjugated bovine serum albumin and myelin basic protein were measured over time in pigs that were kept in environmental enriched v. barren housing.

Salmonella 4,[5],12:i:-, a worldwide emerging pathogen that causes many foodborne outbreaks mostly attributed to pig and pig products, is expanding in the U.S.

Farms with appropriate management, feeding and housing conditions have reduced levels of mounting and aggressive behaviour.

African swine fever (ASF) is a major pig health problem, and the causative virus is moving closer to Western European regions where pig density is high. Stopping or slowing down the spread of ASF requires mitigation strategies that are both effective and practical.

This study provides descriptive information on the practice of piglet castration across 24 European countries.

The commercial combination of Duroc breed, control diet, and 115-kg slaughter weight showed a balance in terms of performance, carcass, and quality traits.

This is the first case report in the United States associating SV-A with a clinical course of severe but transient neonatal morbidity and mortality followed by vesicular lesions in breeding stock animals.

Birth weight had no influence on small intestinal development and function. However, the results confirm that the development and function of the small intestine alters with age.

The aims of this study were to evaluate the ability of computed tomography, predict the chemical composition of live pigs and carcasses, compare the chemical composition of four different sex types at a commercial slaughter weight and model and evaluate the chemical component growth of these sex types.
