Increased dietary zinc oxide changes the bacterial core and enterobacterial composition in the ileum of piglets

Increased dietary ZnO could lead to an increased competition among enterobacteria and, consequently, reduce the occurrence of pathogenic E. coli strains.

Streptococcus suis - Zoonotic epidemic in Asia

Currently, the human risk factors associated with S. suis infection are: 1) Eating raw/undercooked pork meat, 2) Being a farm worker with hog contact or 3) Butchers. To date, there is no evidence of human-to-human transmission of S. suis.

EXCEDE® Now Approved for Swine Respiratory Disease (SRD) Control

EXCEDE® is now approved by the U.S. Center for Veterinary Medicine and the Food and Drug Administration for the control of swine respiratory disease (SRD) associated with Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, Pasteurella multocida, Haemophilus parasuis and Streptococcus suis in groups of pigs where SRD has been diagnosed.

Quick test shows gut flora in piglets

When piglets are weaned from milk to solid food, their intestinal flora change, with a steep rise in the numbers of potentially harmful streptococci. This finding has come out of research done by Odette Pérez Gutiérrez, who developed a micro-array called the PIT (pig intestinal tract) chip with which she can quickly scan six hundred different types of bacteria on a glass slide in the lab.

Differential diagnosis of nervous diseases in the pig

In the diagnosis of nervous conditions it is difficult to establish initially, whether the problems lie in the bones, joints, muscles, or tendons or nerves. We should rule out anatomical or pathological problems in the former four systems before we assume we are dealing with nervous system problems.
