Introduction: Smallholder pig farmers in east Africa typically wean pigs at 6 to 8 weeks. Farmers report that commercially prepared pig diets are too expensive and therefore typically feed forage and food waste. This results in low average daily gain (ADG), especially for the newly weaned pig. The objective was to describe the weaning weights of local and crossbred Ugandan pigs purchased from smallholder farmers and to compare the growth rate of the pigs fed forage- or...

Introduction: In PRRS challenge studies a large amount of data is available and is often presented in tables to demonstrate the effect of challenge. All of the effects of challenge are happening in the pigs at the same time. Still it is a challenge to visualize the simultaneous events in an optimal way. This paper aims to visualize a number of simultaneous effects of PRRSV challenge in vaccinated pigs using a time spatial moving graph. Materials and...

Introduction Zearalenone (ZEA) is a worldwide distributed mycotoxin as indicated by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). 1–3 Its toxicity and incidence was confirmed by recent reports. 4,5 This resorcylic lactone is produced mainly by Fusarium graminearum and is one of the most important toxins causing serious reproductive failures in pig production, due to its ability to couple 17--estradiol receptors. This interference with cytosolic...

In the current study, β-glucan present in fermentation products from Ganoderma lucidum (GLF) was tested as a feed supplement to evaluate its efficacy on growth performance and immunocompetence in weanling piglets suffering from physiological stress during weaning. This article focuses on after challenging with porcine circovirus (PCV) type 2, a supplementation with 50 mg GLF per kg feed also inhibited PCV-2 virus amplification, Figure 1. Detection of PCV-2 nucleic acid in...

Potassium diformate is a strong acidifier that is released slowly in the digestive tract with high buffering properties, which prevents excessive fluctuations in the acidity of the gastrointestinal tract of animals. Studies have shown that 85% of potassium diformate passes through the pig’s stomach and enters the duodenum in its intact form. The...

Background The process of microbial colonization of the gut after birth plays an important role in the development of the neonatal immune system of mammals with implications during their whole life [1]. Immediately after birth, environmental and maternal bacteria, including colonization via the vagina, nipple surface, and milk, quickly colonize the offspring gut and establish the initial microbiota of the piglet [2,3,4]. The intestinal microbiota protects against colonization by...

Introduction Maintenance of general health and prevention of infectious diseases are critically dependent on intestinal homeostasis and proper immune competence. In this regard, early colonization of the gut by microbiota as well as the concomitant development of the intestinal immune system has been proven to be important [1,2,3]. Immediately after birth, the intestine is colonized by bacteria derived from maternal and environmental sources [4,5]. During the early-life period, the...

The swine industry has largely gone to early weaning (3 weeks or earlier) especially in confinement production systems with environmentally controlled nurseries. Economic factors such as increasing the number of pig per sow per year and the need to maximize the capital cost of swine farrowing units by moving more sow through the facilities has...
