The genetic basis of swine inflammation and necrosis syndrome and its genetic association with post-weaning skin damage and production traits

Piglets genetically less likely to present swine inflammation and necrosis syndrome signs are also more unlikely to suffer combined skin damage after weaning.

Chronic inflammation. The unknown (profit) assassin

Who talks about inflammation? We all might mention it when we exercise too much – aching joints, stiffness – or is it just we are all getting older…? But we do not really talk about inflammation much. And certainly, when we think about our livestock, we do not really mention it at all. Well…we should.

Abstract

Tail biting induces a strong acute phase response and tail-end inflammation in finishing pigs

The extent of inflammation associated with tail biting in finishing pigs was evaluated. Tail histopathology, carcass condemnation and the concentration of three acute phase proteins (APPs), C-reactive protein (CRP), serum amyloid-A (SAA) and haptoglobin (Hp), were examined in 12 tail-bitten and 13 control pigs.

Why tryptophan is an important amino acid for piglet nutrition

The consequences of the inflammatory and immune responses on tryptophan metabolism could impair the availability of tryptophan for body protein accretion, growth and all other metabolic processes involving this amino acid.

Pathogenicity: why are some strains pathogenic while some are not?

The factors of virulence allow the pathogenic strains to survive inside the animal and cause the infection, while the non-virulent strains lack these factors and can only survive in the upper respiratory tract as colonisers.
