Background Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) is an enveloped single-stranded positive sense RNA virus belonging to the Order Nidovirales, the family Coronaviridae and the genus Alphacoronavirus (Saif et al. [1]). Following detection in the US swine population during May, 2013, the virus spread rapidly across the country and 6317 cases of Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea (PED) have been confirmed in 29 states as of May 3, 2014 [2,3]. While little information is known regarding the...

INTRODUCTION According to new concepts about human health and increase on protein demand there was significant improvement in carcass quality of pigs to supply market which seeks a pork lean meat. Thus, it should be considered some conditions that impose changes in nutritional requirements of pigs, such as genetic potential for meat production, gender and age for maximal performance. Amino acid levels in most of diets are recommended from the data reviewed (National...

Introduction: There are two registered vaccines available (Clostriporc A, Enteroporc A, IDT Biologika GmbH) to prevent suckling piglet diarrhea caused by Clostridium perfringens type A (CpA). These are based on the α- and β2-toxoids. The goal of this study was to evaluate the development of antibodies against the α- and β2-toxins after recurrent vaccination of gilts with ENTEROPORC A under laboratory conditions. Materials and...

Introduction: The antibiotic resistance of field strains of Brachyspira hyodysenteriae has increased in the last years in Spain as well as in other countries due to the high use of antibiotics for the control of swine dysentery (SD). For this reason, antimicrobial susceptibility tests are becoming essential for an effective control of this disease. Our objective was to study the antibiotic susceptibility of Spanish field strains of Brachyspira hyodysenteriae in...

Introduction: Mesocolon edema syndrome is recognized as a common cause of diarrhea in pigs less than 2 weeks of age, and has been associated with neonatal colonization by Clostridium difficile , C. perfringens , or often as a combined infection. In the United States, C. perfringens type A is increasing in prevalence, but C. difficile colonization and subsequent enterotoxemia is still an important cause of the syndrome. In this study, we directly...

Introduction: Infection with C. difficile may have subclinical signs and light manifestations of disease; its transmission is fecal-oral route, considered as the principal way of contamination. As bacterial infections have negative impact, on the roster, this study has relation with the ways of transmission of C. difficile in swine. This study was to evaluate the transmission of C. difficile via aerogen using PCR and histological section of...

Introduction: Clostridium perfringens type A enteritis is a frequent disease of the newborn piglets with a major economic impact in the Czech Republic and important swine producing countries as well. Different antimicrobials may be used for treatment of piglets affected by clostridial enteritis. There are only a few reports on antimicrobial susceptibility of C. perfringens from pigs. Overall, the most common resistance in C. perfringens is to...

Introduction: Cystoisospora (syn. Isospora ) suis is a leading cause of diarrheal disease in neonatal piglets and the disease is related to considerable economic losses. The metaphylactic treatment with toltrazuril 3 to 5 days after birth is a common control measure practiced in many countries. Another essential practice is the prevention of neonatal iron deficiency anaemia as piglets are born with small iron reserves (35 to 50 mg) and sow milk contains...

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the economic benefit and improved yield of groups of gilts vaccinated with SUISENG®, on a farm with a high prevalence of neonatal diarrhoea caused by E.coli/Clostridium . Materials and Methods: 49 clinically healthy, PRRSV-positive and ADV-negative gilts were selected on a farm with 800 sows, and divided into 4 groups, 2 vaccinated (V1 n=13; V2 n=12) and 2 not vaccinated (NV1 n=12;...

Introduction: Clostridium perfringens is a gram-positive bacteria that can cause diarrhea and is commonly transferred from the sow to the piglet. The objective of this study was to evaluate dietary addition of a Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation product during late gestation through a 21 d lactation on sow and litter performance, milk components, and fecal Clostridium perfringens. Materials and Methods: On d 93 of...

INTRODUCTION Phosphorus is an essential mineral for the formation and maintenance of bone structure, playing additionally a number of functions in the body. According to UNDERWOOD & SUTTLE (1999), phosphorus is found in a high concentration in bone tissue where together with calcium they form hydroxyapatite, which is the major constituent of the skeleton. Phosphorus portion not related to the structural function in the body is contained in high-value organic molecules,...

Introduction Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus (PEDV) is an enveloped single-stranded positive-sense RNA virus that was first identified in the United States in May 2013. Epidemiological and controlled experiments have shown that complete feed or feed components can be one of many possible vectors of transmission of PEDV. 1 Previous research has shown that a 2% and 1% mixture of caproic, caprylic, and capric acids can reduce the risk of PEDV in a complete swine diet....

Introduction Manganese is an essential trace mineral that is a key component in carbohydrate, lipid and protein metabolism. According to the NRC, 2 the quantitative requirement for Mn for nursery and finishing diets ranges from 2 to 4 ppm. Assuming bioavailability is not a concern, many swine diets today meet the NRC 2 estimated requirement for Mn from the major dietary ingredients before a trace mineral premix is added to the diet. However, due to the...

1. Introduction With increasing public awareness regarding pig welfare, gestating sow housing systems are currently changing around the world to group-housing. While the legislation on sows’ group-housing was adopted in 2001 in Europe, the new Canadian regulation was enacted in 2014. The Canadian Code of Practice for the care and handling of pigs requires that all newly built facilities or those undergoing renovation must house sows in groups during gestation, or provide...

Introduction As many production systems are transitioning from individual gestation stalls to different styles of group housing, there are new challenges for data collection in the gestation barn. Commonly referred to as electronic sow feeders (ESF), computerized feeding stations have been available for more than 30 years as a method used to control the variability of sow intake (Trottier and Johnston, 2001), and now are becoming a powerful tool for sow...
