Shedding of cephalosporin resistant Escherichia coli in pigs from conventional farms
Intervention strategies targeting sows would likely have a beneficial effect in reducing the occurrence of antimicrobial resistance in primary pig production.
U of S VIDO-InterVac develops vaccine for PEDV
In less than a year, University of Saskatchewan (U of S) scientists have developed and tested a prototype vaccine that could protect the North American swine industry from a virus that has killed more than eight million pigs and cost more than $400 million in lost income since 2013.
Vesicular disease in 9-week-old pigs experimentally infected with Senecavirus A
Vesicular disease was experimentally induced in nursery-age pigs inoculated with SVA demonstrating for the first time a causal relationship between SVA infection and disease.
Glässer's disease: An update
The recent development of PCR serotyping is a step forward that allows any laboratory to determine the serotype of the isolated H. parasuis strain.
Diagnosis and treatment of colibacillosis in the farrowing unit
Diarrhoea is their most typical clinical manifestation, and the earlier the onset, the more harmful it is. Newborn piglets can present with another clinical picture, with signs of sepsis (shock, depression, death, polyarthritis), which is associated with an extraintestinal E. coli.
The genetic diversity of contemporary swine influenza A viruses in the United States
In the United States, there are 17 genetic clades that have emerged and persisted following spillover events from non-swine (namely human) hosts and subsequent ecological and evolutionary processes
Risk factors of colibacillosis in the farrowing unit
Management factors and environmental conditions are often triggers or predisposing agents, not only to the clinical presentation of the disease, but also its severity and course.
Veterinary Feed Directives: Taking Action Webinar
Throughout this one-hour webinar, industry experts will explain challenges with VFDs, expectations of stakeholders, and action plans for those involved.
EMA: Countries should reduce use of colistin in animals to decrease the risk of antimicrobial resistance
Goal is to cut colistin sales by 65%. Over the course of the next three to four years, all Member States should reduce the use of colistin in animals at least to a target level of 5 mg colistin/population correction unit (PCU).
Health protocols for replacements: respiratory and systemic diseases (2/3)
We are talking about PRRSV, M. hyo, PCV2, App and swine influenza virus.
Effects of antimicrobials on pig humoral immune responses induced by erysipelas vaccination
The results of the present study indicate that vaccination of pigs against erysipelas in the presence of antibiotics may result in a decrease or enhancement in the production of specific antibodies.

Revisiting EFSA@EXPO: emerging issues in animal and plant health. Jan Slingenbergh, an independent adviser, began by saying that livestock pathogens are a new phenomenon – about 12,000 years old.
UK pig producers make outstanding progress in recording use of antibiotics
In less than two months, antibiotic data for over 1.2m pigs has already been contributed by pig producers to the British pig industry’s new on-line medicine book.
Salmonella in meat products reduced by 90 percent in new research
An old technology that uses natural bacteria predators, called bacteriophages, is the focus of new research at the University of Nevada, Reno. The technique is being used to reduce salmonella bacteria in meat products.
Netherlands: Screening for colistin resistance will soon be advisable
To gain a better understanding of the way in which this new type of colistin resistance spreads, the bacteria were examined at molecular level.
