Clinical case: Necrotizing pneumonia in suckling piglets
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.

New neonatal porcine diarrhoea: clinical outcome in an affected herd
All litters delivered by gilts were affected by NNPD, but the disease was only recorded in one of 8 litters delivered by four- or five-parity sows.
Zinc oxide–montmorillonite hybrid influences diarrhea, intestinal mucosal integrity, and digestive enzyme activity in weaned pigs
The use of dietary Zn in montmorillonite hybrids for piglet diets improve performance and digestive parameters.
Analysis of the health in the weaners and fattening stages; a different approach (II)
The losses due to diarrhoea problems appear concentrated, basically, during the first week in the weaners stage, whilst in the farms that have not suffered diarrhoea problems, the mortality is distibuted more evenly.
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.
Analysis of the health status in the weaners and fattening stages; a different approach (I)
We analyze a real case, and we will check out how a partial analysis of the data can give place to erroneous conclusions.
Clinical case: Post-weaning diarrhoea outbreaks in Eastern Europe
The pig farm management team in charge of the post-weaned piglet nursery areas on these wean-to-finish sites has found serious problems with diarrhoea in recent batches of piglets arriving from the breeding farms.
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.
New neonatal porcine diarrhoea in Denmark - a clinical description
The aim of this study was to make a clinical description of NNPD and to establish which pathogens are associated with NNPD.
Brachyspira-associated colitis in swine
Two species of Brachyspira are well-recognized pathogens of pigs: B pilosicoli and B. hyodysenteriae. Recently, dysentery-like disease has been reported in association with infection by strongly beta-hemolytic spirochetes which are not identified as B. hyodysenteriae.
Alberta Pork Releases: Fighting Swine Dysentery: Healthy pigs mean healthy profits
When it comes to swine dysentery, an ounce of prevention can save you a ton.
Dietary clays alleviate diarrhea of weaned pigs
Clay products may help to prevent the negative impact of diarrhea in weanling piglets.
Thompson's tip: Legacy of farrowing house scour
It has been reported that the gut damage (villous atrophy) in piglets following rotavirus infection can persist for up to 30 days.
Age-dependent competition of porcine ETEC with different fimbria genes
F4 fimbriae are highly associated with diarrhoea in piglets of all age groups whereas F18 fimbriae are associated with diarrhoea in piglets from late stages of suckling to post-weaning.
A high dietary concentration of inulin is necessary to reduce the incidence of swine dysentery
80 g/kg dietary inulin may protect pigs against developing swine disentery by modifying the microbiota in the gastrointestinal tract.
Odds ratios as a field diagnostic tool
Patterns of association are quite helpful in helping focus resources whether that is time, money, or any intervention we are seeking to implement.
