Protection of piglets against Oedema Disease by maternal immunization with Stx2e Toxoid
The article provides an alternative to the current vaccination programs that could be the solution for farms with early onset oedema disease. However, this alternative —consisting of vaccinating the dams at the end of gestation to achieve post-weaning piglets immunization—, also raises questions...
Genetic selection may be used to control pathogen susceptibility and the composition of the gut microbiota
Genetic selection provides a powerful tool to improve and maintain gut health in industrial pig production, and may in the future become a more sustainable alternative to the currently massive need for antibiotics.
Three viruses trending to becoming more common?
Among the possible infectious causes are porcine teschovirus (PTV), porcine sapelovirus (PSV) and atypical porcine pestivirus (APPV).
Transdermal devices in PRRSV immunization (2/2)
Needle-free injection technology improves the dispersion of vaccines throughout the tissue.
Future work of Codex on antimicrobial resistance
A dedicated Codex task force on AMR chaired by South Korea will take the new work forward.
National reduction in PCV2 prevalence following introduction of vaccination
Since the introduction of PCV2 vaccines in 2006, viral presence and viral loads have greatly decreased, and a genotypic shift dominated by PCV2b has occurred.
Canada: PED containment top priority
Manitoba's Chief Veterinary Officer says all pig movements on and off PED infected farms are being tracked in an effort to identify the source of infection and to ensure it does not spread to other farms.
Conclusions of the council on the next steps under the One Health Approach to fight antimicrobial resistance
Every year, 700,000 people die in the world because of antimicrobial resistance. The European Union is responding to this growing problem by reducing the use of antibiotics.
Comparative efficacy of concurrent administration of a PCV2 vaccine plus a PRRSV in pigs challenged with both viruses
Under the conditions of this study, it makes no difference to protection whether PCV2 and PRRSV vaccines are administered concurrently. Concurrent vaccination is efficacious for controlling co-infection with PCV2 and PRRSV.
Ear necrosis: decoding the enigma
Presumed causes of ear necrosis are many and generally speculative; indeed, there are many risk factors associated with ear necrosis including trauma from pen mates or the environment, overcrowding, commingling, high humidity, limited feeder or water space, misformulated rations, mycotoxins, viral diseases, or bacteria.
Manitoba's CVO has confirmed a third case in the latest outbreak of PED
PED has been found in a sow barn in southeastern Manitoba, following two cases found in the same area recently.
FVE: Relationship between animal welfare and the use of antibiotics in food animals
FVE has adopted in the last General Assembly a position paper on the relationship between antibiotics and animal welfare.
Evaluating the surveillance for swine dysentery and progressive atrophic rhinitis in closed multiplier herds
To increase efficiency, active sampling should be intensified (more animals sampled) and monitored fattening groups abandoned. This would significantly improve sensitivity and time to detection at comparable or lower costs.
Clinical case: Sodium ion toxicosis in pigs after transport
At autopsy, haemorrhagic enterocolitis with mucosal oedema, enlarged spleen and haemorrhagic mesentery were observed.
