Relationship between biosecurity level and antimicrobial use in the pig industry
Biosecurity is a useful measure to promote the reduction of antimicrobial use in the pig industry.

Dietary lysine content and sanitation conditions on performance of weaned pigs fed antibiotic-free diets
Lysine requirements for piglets fed antibiotic free-diets is higher than NRC (1998) recommendation.
Factors influencing antibiotic prescribing habits and use of sensitivity testing amongst veterinarians in Europe
The survey was completed by 3004 practitioners from 25 European countries.
Antimicrobial resistance of swine Escherichia coli F4+ strains isolated in Italy from 2002 to 2011
A significant decrease of susceptibility to antimicrobials and a significant increase of multi-resistant strains (classes II and III) of E.coli F4+ was observed from 2002 to 2011.
Chitoligosaccharide with different molecular weight on performance, selected microbial populations and nutrient digestibility in the weaned pig
Chitooligosaccharide supplementation of different molecular weight could be an alternative to antibiotics.
Efficacy of in-feed medication with chlortetracycline in a farrow-to-finish herd against a clinical outbreak of respiratory disease in fattening pigs
CTC, when administered at onset of clinical respiratory disease via the feed at a dose of 500 ppm during two alternative weeks, was able to decrease the prevalence of pneumonia lesions.
Antimicrobial peptide-P5 supplementation on growth, digestibility and intestinal microbiota in weanling pigs
Antimicrobial peptides has the potential to improve the growth performance in weanling pigs.
Survey of quantitative antimicrobial consumption in two different pig finishing systems
Overall percentages of animals exposed to antimicrobials (AM) were high (90 per cent in finisher farms and 54 per cent FtF farms).
Antimicrobial susceptibility of Listeria monocytogenes, Listeria ivanovii, and Listeria species isolated from swine processing facilities in Colombia
Resistance to clindamycin and ciprofloxacin are shared between L monocytogenes and untyped Listeria. Although erythromycin is a drug of choice for prophylaxis in Colombian swine, resistance is low.
Antimicrobial peptide-A3 on productive parameters and intestinal health in weanling pigs
The antimicrobial peptide-A3 can be used as a potential alternative to antibiotic growth promoters in weanling pigs.
Antimicrobial susceptibility of porcine Pasteurella multocida, Streptococcus suis, and Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae
This report provides the first extensive survey of the antimicrobial susceptibility of major SRD pathogens isolated from swine across the United States and Canada during the years 2001 to 2010.
Relationship between biosecurity measures and production, health and treatment in pig herds
It is generally believed that biosecurity measures in pig production improve performance and health status of the pigs, but limited quantitative data is available to support this hypothesis.
Transmission of MRSA CC398 strains between pig farms related by trade of animals
The molecular typing data confirm the findings of a previous risk-analysis study indicating that trading of colonised pigs is a vehicle for transmission of MRSA CC398.
Copper and feed-grade antimicrobials on the growth performance of weanling pigs
Copper and antimicrobials may improve growth performance of weanling pigs.
Effect of bamboo vinegar as an antibiotic alternative on growth performance and fecal bacterial communities of weaned piglets
Bamboo vinegar could be used as a potential additive in animal production as antibiotic alternative.
The antimicrobial peptide cecropin AD on performance and intestinal health in weaned piglets challenged with Escherichia coli
Cecropin AD may enhance immune status and energy retention in piglets enhancing animal performance and intestinal health.
