FAO: Pig disease outbreak in Ukraine a major warning sign
Following the first-ever detection of African swine fever in Ukraine, FAO is warning that while control measures appear to have temporarily halted the disease's spread, it has established a firm foothold in the Caucasus and poses an ongoing risk to neighbouring areas.
Interaction of Bordetella bronchiseptica, Pasteurella multocida, and fumonisin B1 in the porcine respiratory tract
These results indicate that, when combined with dual infection by B. bronchiseptica and P. multocida, dietary exposure of pigs to FB1 toxin raises the risk of pneumonia.
Longitudinal study of the persistence of antimicrobial-resistant campylobacter strains in distinct Swine production systems on farms, at slaughter, and in the environment
The objectives of this study were to compare and characterize the prevalence of antimicrobial-resistant Campylobacter in conventional and antimicrobial-free production systems on farms, at slaughter, and in the environment.
Antimicrobials in pigs, the present and future perspectives
The European Commission is reviewing and consulting how antimicrobials are used in veterinary medicine following the release of their 12 point programme in 2011. Present and future situation of antimicrobial use in the European Community is analysed.
Detection of influenza virus in aerosols from swine farms
Acutely infected pig populations do generate airborne influenza A virus viable particles capable of being exhausted from pig barns and likely disseminated to other farms in the vicinity.
Pork CRC encouraging innovation
Proposals for genuinely innovative shorter term projects across the four research programs of the CRC for High Integrity Australian Pork (Pork CRC) are now invited.
Effects of dietary seaweed extract supplementation in sows and post-weaned pigs on performance, intestinal morphology, intestinal microflora and immune status
SWE supplementation post-weaning provides a dietary means to improve gut health and to enhance growth performance in starter pigs.
Regional PRRS control with an autogenous vaccination strategy
Regional vaccination with an autogenous killed vaccine did not effectively reduce the number of PRRSV related crises in the vaccinated farms.
Number Needed to Treat (NNT) and its implications in the field
How do we determine clinical significance? One way is to evaluate how many individuals need to be treated in order to obtain one more favorable outcome. This is the concept behind Number Needed to Treat (NNT).
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.
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.
Alternative control strategy successful in the face of persistent SIV
Flu DETECT® Swine is a cost-effective way to help determine if weaned, SIV-clinical pigs are actively shedding SIV.
Evaluation of a needle-free injection device to prevent hematogenous transmission of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus
Use of NFIDs does not prevent hematogenous transmission of PRRSV.
