Abstract

Microbial shifts in the swine nasal microbiota in response to parenteral antimicrobial administration

Parenteral antimicrobial administration shifts the nasal microbiota in growing piglets. The changes in nasal microbiota structure were antimicrobial-dependent. Rationalization of injectable antibiotic treatments in growing piglets is needed.

Herd‐level prevalence and incidence of PEDV and PDCoV in swineherds in Ontario

Porcine epidemic diarrhoea virus (PEDV) and porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) were first identified in Canada in 2014. Surveillance efforts have been instrumental in controlling both diseases.

Figure 1. A serious injury in a pig of almost 15 kg, even with part of the tail missing.

Tail biting in a pig farm with non-docked pigs

The average mortality increased by 2.5% due to the animals that presented with myelitis and ascending infections along the spine. Find out how the problem could be solved without returning to tail docking.

Fig. 1. IFN-γ ELISPOT antigen-specific responses in PBMC to pig pathogens. ADV: Aujeszky’s disease virus; PRRSV: porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus; PCV2: porcine circovirus type 2; M.hyo.: Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae. Each spot is due to IFN-γ secretion by re-activated memory/effector T lymphocytes. In brackets, the pathogen used to re-activate the cells in the test plates is indicated.
