Introduction Molecular serotyping and LS-PCR are valuable and practical tools for Glaeserella parasuis characterization (1, 2). Early in 2020, and due to the forced postpandemic closure, several swine production systems in Peru reported clinical cases of G. parasuis, and a total of sixty-eight qPCR-positive microbiological isolates of clinical cases were obtained over two years. The objective of this study was to identify the circulating serotypes,...

With the theme "Pork production from an Agribusiness perspective", the sixth session of the IPVS2022 Pre-Congress, which takes place on June 21st at the RioCentro, Rio de Janeiro (RJ), will address issues involving environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG), as a link between science and the demands of the global...
Authors should pay attention to the results that will be released soon
Recognized worldwide as one of the main showcases for swine research, the IPVS2022, which takes place from June 21st to 24th, at the RioCentro, Rio de Janeiro (RJ), informs the scientific community about the final phase of the abstracts’ evaluation to be presented at the event.
To follow the conclusion of the reviewers, authors should pay attention. "Soon we will...
There are several different genetic technologies that have been used to improve trait performance for pig farmers. Some examples would include: a) Terminal Cross Mating System: this is simply using a crossbred female composed of breeds that are best for reproduction as the maternal line animals. The most common examples are the use of a Landrace/Large White F1 female as the parent female. This allows the best breeds for reproduction to exert...
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 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...
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...
