Antibiotic growth promoters will be banned from pig feed rations in the UK from next year, and producers are being warned to make management changes now.
AGP’s have been included in UK pig diets on a routine basis for over 60 years. They can increase daily liveweight gains by up to 16% in growing pigs and reduce feed conversion rates by up to 5.5%.
These improvements are due to the role of AGP’s in reducing digestive disorder and treating E Coli, Ilietic and Colitis.
According to...

Sampling has taken place at around 30 ZAP 0 and ZAP 1 farms in England and Scotland and more visits are scheduled over the next few weeks. This is part of a Vetererinary Laboratories Agency study into salmonella on pig farms. The results will help producers tackle salmonella problems.

With the arrival of Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus (PEDV) to Eastern Europe, and some finishers in Western Europe, it may be time to start considering “Closing” your herd, and raising your own Replacement Gilts. You will have to dedicate about 12% to 15% of your best sows to becoming your “Temporary Maternal Line”. These will be replaced by their offspring who will have much more “Maternal Blood” in them. From this point...

Ileitis, or proliferative enteritis, continues to cause disease problems in grow-finish and breeding herds. It is caused by Lawsonia intracellularis, a bacteria that affects the terminal part of the small intestine, or ileum.
Clinical signs in grow-finish range from slight diarrhea to an acute outbreak causing sudden death. Results are added disparity in pig weight and lower overall pig performance.
In the breeding herd, ileitis can be a challenge when naçve gilts exposed to the bacteria...

On their own, large roundworms can inflict substantial harm on pig performance and a producer’s bottom line.
However, new research shows the negative effects of roundworms can go much further, actually reducing the ability of a pig’s immune system to fight viral and bacterial pathogens that cause diseases such as PRRS, swine influenza and ileitis – leaving today’s pigs more vulnerable than many producers and veterinarians realize.
Recent research has shown roundworms migrating within a...
