Use of saliva for haptoglobin and C-reactive protein quantifications in porcine respiratory and reproductive syndrome affected pigs in field conditions[swine abstracts]The purpose of this study was to study the use of saliva samples as alternative to serum for acute phase protein (APP) quantifications in pigs at field conditions. |
A stochastic mathematical model of the within-herd transmission dynamics of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV): Fade-out and persistence[swine abstracts]A stochastic, mathematical model of a farrow-finish pig herd was developed and used to investigate the within-herd transmission dynamics of PRRSV, and to examine patterns of on-farm persistence and fade-out. |
Philippines: hog production inched up 1.2% in 2009[Latest swine news]Philippine hog production rose by a mere 1.2% in 2009, but this is still better than the 1.6% contraction it suffered in 2008.source: www.asian-agribiz.com |
Age-dependent resistance to Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus replication in swine[swine abstracts]Since the porcine adaptive immune system is not fully competent at birth, we hypothesized that age influences the dynamics of PRRSV infection. |
New viral threat to UK pig industry[Company news]A new disease which poses as great a risk as foot-and-mouth disease could devastate the British pig industry unless controls are tightened up. |
Diagnosis of Porcine Respiratory and Reproductive Syndrome[What the experts say ]Susanna Williamson In reproductive disease, submission of several whole affected litters is advisable to provide material for diagnosis of PRRSV and other diseases causing reproductive or neonatal problems. |
