Effect of a microencapsulated feed additive of lactic and formic acid on the prevalence of Salmonella in pigs arriving at the abattoir
Dietary organic acid in fattening pigs may reduce the prevalence of Salmonella at the slaughterhouse.

Effects of lactic acid on survival of Salmonella, Yersinia enterocolitica, and Campylobacter coli in pork
Current industry chilling practices with and without the application of 2% L-lactic acid were compared for their effectiveness at reducing levels of Salmonella, Yersinia enterocolitica, and Campylobacter coli on pork variety meats.
Effect of mixing piglets affected by Escherichia coli diarrhea on growth and welfare responses
Mixing piglets affected by E. coli diarrhea may have a detrimental effect on growth rate.
Subclinical ileitis: Diagnostic and performance parameters in a multi-dose mucosal homogenate challenge model
A dose titration study was conducted using a Lawsonia intracellularis mucosal homogenate model in weaned pigs.
Gilt replacement strategies used in two swine production areas in Quebec in regard to PRRSv
Replacement strategies may have weaknesses that should be addressed to facilitate PRRSV management at the herd and regional levels.
Weaned pig responses to Escherichia coli K88 oral challenge when receiving a lysozyme supplement
Lysozyme supplementation may reduce the negative impact of Escherichia coli K88 in weanling piglets.
Oral immunization of weaned piglets with tobacco seeds expressing antigenic proteins of VTEC
Oral administration of recombinant tobacco seeds expressing antigenic proteins against VTEC strains can induce an increase of mucosal antibodies.
Interaction of Bordetella bronchiseptica, Pasteurella multocida, and fumonisin B1 in the porcine respiratory tract
These results indicate that, when combined with dual infection by B. bronchiseptica and P. multocida, dietary exposure of pigs to FB1 toxin raises the risk of pneumonia.
Longitudinal study of the persistence of antimicrobial-resistant campylobacter strains in distinct Swine production systems on farms, at slaughter, and in the environment
The objectives of this study were to compare and characterize the prevalence of antimicrobial-resistant Campylobacter in conventional and antimicrobial-free production systems on farms, at slaughter, and in the environment.
Detection of influenza virus in aerosols from swine farms
Acutely infected pig populations do generate airborne influenza A virus viable particles capable of being exhausted from pig barns and likely disseminated to other farms in the vicinity.
Regional PRRS control with an autogenous vaccination strategy
Regional vaccination with an autogenous killed vaccine did not effectively reduce the number of PRRSV related crises in the vaccinated farms.
Effect of in-water iodine supplementation on weight gain, diarrhea and oral and dental health of nursery pigs
Adding an aqueous iodine supplement to nursery pigs, therefore, did not provide an advantage for either growth or oral condition. Deleterious oral conditions do increase after weaning, with gingivitis being associated with lower piglet weight.
Evaluation of a needle-free injection device to prevent hematogenous transmission of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus
Use of NFIDs does not prevent hematogenous transmission of PRRSV.
Fetal infections and antibody profiles in pigs naturally infected with porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2)
In conclusion, even on farms with sows that have high PCV2 antibody titers, vertical transmission of PCV2 may occur, resulting in piglet infection.
Cerebral abscesses in a pig: Atypical manifestations of Streptococcus suis serotype 2-induced meningoencephalitis
This case represents an atypical manifestation of streptococcal meningoencephalitis of swine and is, to our knowledge, the first description of S suis serotype 2-induced cerebral abscesses in pigs.
Plant additives as an alternative to feed antimicrobials in the prevention of postweaning diarrhoea in pigs
Both plants, Eugenia and Pterocarya can represent effective alternatives to feed antimicrobials for the use in prevention of PWD in pigs, but further studies are necessary.
