One percentage of affected lung volume was associated with a 0.24% reduction in lean meat content.

Can autogenous vaccines help us control streptococcal infections? What should we take into account?

In this second article Antonio Vela, Francisco José Pallarés, and David Espigares answer questions about the diagnosis, monitoring, and eradication of pleuropneumonia caused by Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (App).

We asked Antonio Vela, Francisco José Pallarés, and David Espigares about pleuropneumonia caused by Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (App). In this first article, we will talk about the evolution and control of the disease.

This article describes the principal lesions that characterize the main bacterial pneumonias. Although most are opportunistic agents, there are two primary bacterial agents capable of causing lesions on their own.

Any contact between fattening pigs of different age during restocking of compartments increased the risk.

Today, nearly all genetic suppliers of replacement breeding stock in North America are free of M.hyo.

The interaction between M. hyopneumoniae and its host make M. hyopneumoniae one of the most important contributors to porcine respiratory disease.

Recent reports still show high prevalence of the pathogen in most pig producing countries.

The abattoir is a useful endpoint to collect data on herd health status and a valuable tool for monitoring the effect of disease control measures.

One of the greatest long-term potentials for genomic selection is to identify specific genes or genomic regions with a significant impact on pig health and to aid selection for disease resistance and/or disease tolerance.

In a factory farm located in Mexico an increase in the mortality in the farrowing quarters was seen, and this coincides with temperature and relative humidity increases.

Patterns of association are quite helpful in helping focus resources whether that is time, money, or any intervention we are seeking to implement.

There are a number of laboratory tests that can be used in the diagnosis of enzootic pneumonia (EP). The choice of test and the approach to the investigation depends on the clinical circumstances and the rationale for doing the testing.
