Abstract

Disinfection protocols reduce the amount of porcine circovirus type 2 in contaminated 1:61 scale model livestock transport vehicles

Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of disinfection protocols on porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) in 1:61 scale model livestock trailers and determine the infectivity of PCV2 DNA detected using a bioassay.

Abstract

Vulvar skin temperature changes significantly during estrus in swine as determined by digital infrared thermography

This study demonstrated that VST of sows and gilts, measured by IRT, changes significantly during estrus. The potential to use digital infrared thermography as an adjunct tool during estrus detection in swine appears to be promising.

Creep feed: Effects of feed flavor supplementation on pre- and post-weaning performance and behavior of piglet and sow

Administration of flavor could increase creep feed intake pre-weaning and piglet average daily gain post-weaning.

Abstract

Behavioral indexes of piglet welfare: Comparison of indoor and outdoor housing systems

Investigative, social-play and conflict behaviors may be effective indexes of the welfare level of piglets, especially investigative and conflict behaviors.

Abstract

Porcine rotavirus groups A, B, and C identified by polymerase chain reaction in a fecal sample collection with inconclusive results by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis

The results of this study suggest that failure to identify porcine rotaviruses B and C in diarrheic fecal samples is primarily due to use of diagnostic methods of low sensitivity, and not to low prevalence of infection.

Nutrition Abstract

Effect of dietary regime and group structure on pig performance and the variation in weight and growth rate from weaning to 20 weeks of age

Although uniform grouping appears to aid the reduction in slaughter weight variation and improve FCR, its effect is dependent on dietary regime.

Abstract

Sow preferences for farrowing under a cover with and without access to straw

Since feed-back from a functional nest may improve maternal behaviour and thus piglet survival we investigated if access to a covered area and ad libitum access to straw would improve maternal behaviour of importance for piglet survival.

Abstract

Median infectious dose (ID50) of PRRSV for young pigs via aerosol exposure

The objective of this research was to quantify the likelihood of PRRSV transmission via aerosol as a function of exposure dose. This data is critical to understanding of airborne transmission of PRRSV between pigs, within herds, and between herds.

Abstract

Optimal combinations of acute phase proteins for detecting infectious disease in pigs

Combinations of APPs allowed the detection of disease more sensitively than any individual APP and the best three-protein combinations were CRP, apoA1, pigMAP and CRP, apoA1, Hp, respectively, closely followed by the two-protein combinations CRP, pigMAP and apoA1, pigMAP, respectively.

Pig production data

Figures and trends in pig and pork production by country: pig and sow numbers, pork production and pork trade. The results are shown in several chart formats according to the countries and time periods chosen. Full reports by country are also available.

E-diagnostics

Pig disease diagnostic tool. Select the age and the most relevant signs observed and you’ll get the conditions that can potentially cause them along with their description. This tool should only be used as a guide.

Diseases manual

List of the most important diseases and conditions in pigs. Symptoms, causes, diagnosis, control and prevention of each disease are described. Some of the treatments mentioned may be prohibited in some countries. Information on all diseases to be completed in the coming days.

Authors

What makes us stand out is the quality and independence of our contents. Find out about the authors who make it possible. Our goal is to generate a virtual community of advanced users in the sector.

Atlas of pathology

This atlas of swine pathology features images of major diseases and aims to be an eminently visual and very useful tool for diagnosis. You can filter images by location and disease.
