PCV2 Vaccination Strategy Experiment
Piglets that had received the piglet vaccine had significantly lower PCV2 viraemia at 18 weeks of age than did either unvaccinated pigs or those which were from vaccinated mothers only but thus was not reflected in a noticeable improvement in health status,...

MICs and MBCs of Tiamulin against Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (App) in Broth and 100 Per Cent Serum
The mean MBC was only 1.74 times the MIC for tiamulin against App, which is surprising as it is considered primarily a bacteriostatic antibiotic, according to Andrew Pridmore (Don Whitley Scientific Ltd), David Burch (Octagon Services Ltd) and Peter Lees...

Antimicrobial Resistance and Greasy Pig Disease
Because greasy pig disease is unlikely respond to injections of penicillin or beta-lactam antibiotics, alternative approaches such as topical treatments and vaccination need to be explored, according to Dr Bob Friendship and colleagues at the University...

Scientific Opinion on African Swine Fever
Awareness of both pig farmers and veterinarians of the risk of African Swine Fever (ASF), especially in limited and free-range production sectors should be increased. This is one of the recommendations made by the European Food Safety Authority in its...

Lysine Requirement Affected by Gender, Weight but Not PCV2 Vaccination
PCV2 vaccination did not increase the lysine requirement for growing and finishing barrows and gilts, according to paper presented at the Kansas Swine Day 2009 by N.W. Shelton. Differences in requirement were found between gilts and barrows as well as...
