Growing evidence around phytogenics supporting more resilient piglet weaning
One of the major challenges during weaning is post-weaning diarrhea, impacting nearly 25% of piglets in European countries. A promising strategy to boost resilience and help piglets navigate the stress of weaning can be, among others, the use of phytogenics.
Boosting piglet health after weaning: the role of the natural emulsifier glyceryl polyethylene glycol ricinoleate in gut development
Dietary glyceryl polyethylene glycol ricinoleate supplementation may improve intestinal health in post-weaning piglets.
Necropsy manual: Examining organs (II)
In the fifth installment of the manual we address the examination of the organs of the abdominal cavity.
A novel recombinant S-based subunit vaccine induces protective immunity against porcine deltacoronavirus challenge in piglets
Data demonstrate for the first time the protective efficacy of spike-based subunit vaccine, which could be a candidate vaccine against PDCoV.
The effect of different fiber sources in antibiotic-free diets on growth, immune responses, intestinal barrier function and microbiota in weaned piglets
The supplementation of wheat bran to antibiotic-free diets improves performance and intestinal health in weaned pigs.
Effect of postweaning feed intake on performance, intestinal morphology, and the probability of diarrhea in piglets
From their respective academic and on-farm perspectives, Josep Gasa and Josep Casanovas comment on a recent study about the effect of postweaning feed intake.
Transplantation of fecal filtrate to neonatal pigs reduces post-weaning diarrhea
Early postnatal administration of fecal filtrate transplant, showed positive clinical effects in post-weaning pigs.
Arabinoxylan and xylo-oligosaccharide dietary supplementation and their impact on growth performance and intestinal barrier function in weaned piglets
Xylo-oligosaccharide with lower polymerization may promote positive effects on intestinal health in weanling piglets.
Neonatal diarrhoea: Management key points in France
Neonatal diarrhoea is a serious problem for farmers and vets. Affected piglets can develop severe diarrhoea from 1–2 h to 7 days following birth.
Neonatal diarrhoea: Prevalence of enteric pathogens
The detection of a pathogen alone is not sufficient for elucidating the aetiology behind neonatal diarrhoea outbreaks. The diagnosis of neonatal diarrhoea is one of the most challenging ones in daily pig practice.
The impact of discontinuing perinatal antibiotic treatments in piglets
Side effects of perinatal medications on the microbiota can be detrimental to animal health.
Automated detection of behavioral changes associated with the post-weaning transition in pigs
The approach is capable of automatically monitoring several different behaviors of a group of pigs at the same time.
Laboratory diagnostics: Rotavirus
What laboratory diagnostic methods can I use to diagnose rotavirus? Which one should I choose according to the situation? How do I interpret the results?
No swine dysentery? Challenges that mild strains of Brachyspira hyodysenteriae pose to the industry
What happens if the agent that causes swine dysentery is detected, but there is no disease? This is how can it be diagnosed and the consequences to the herd.
The impact of protein content in the diet on growth and diarrhoea in weaning piglets
Lowering the dietary protein level in post-weaning diets may reduce the impact on diarrhoea at weaning.
