In this second installment, Antonio Palomo summarizes the papers and posters on health, immunology, and vaccines presented at the latest edition of the IPVS and ESPHM-ECPHM in Leipzig.

Antonio Palomo summarizes the presentations from the latest AASV, ranging from the future of the veterinary profession to the eradication of diseases, hog prices, and experiences in improving pig survival.

Antonio Palomo summarizes the presentations on nutrition given at the latest edition of the American Association of Swine Veterinarians (AASV).

In the end, depopulation was the option to reduce mortality and the excessive use of antibiotics in the nursery and subsequent phases.

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.

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.

Side effects of perinatal medications on the microbiota can be detrimental to animal health.

How to interpret a negative or positive PCR result with specific examples of what could be happening.

This study evaluated samples from different European countries to estimate the incidence of E. coli, C. perfringens, Rota and coronaviruses in the faeces of piglets suffering from neonatal diarrhoea.

This concludes our series of three articles with explanations from Alberto Garcia and Chretien Gielen about the measures to consider to reduce post-weaning diarrhea without the use of zinc oxide. We couldn't end without looking at key aspects such as the environment, water, and use of biologics.

We spoke with Alberto Garcia (Inga Food SA, Spain) and Chretien Gielen (De Varkenspraktijk, The Netherlands), to discuss aspects related to weaning management and conditions.

An outbreak of edema disease was treated with fasting and antibiotic therapy, but in subsequent batches these measures were no longer successful. The outbreak progresses and it was observed that when animals are medicated, either orally or parenterally, mortality increases both in number and speed.

The first days of the finishing phase are key, as they will determine finishing performance. This article addresses two types of pathologies caused by two different pathotypes of Escherichia coli.

What laboratory diagnostic methods can I use to diagnose Edema disease? Which one should I choose according to the situation? How do I interpret the results?
