Experimental Porcine Circovirus Type 1 (PCV1) Infections in Mid-Gestational Porcine Foetuses
PCV1 was generally thought to be non-pathogenic to pigs and this is among the first papers to be published on infections in piglets before birth. The virus can replicate and may produce pathology in the lungs of porcine foetuses inoculated at 55-days...

Factors Associated with the Occurrence of MRSA CC398 in Fattening Pigs in Germany
Just over half (52 per cent) of the farms tested had pigs that tested positive for this type of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), according to researchers at the Federal Institute for Risk Assessment.

Energy Use and Nutrient Cycling in Pig Production Systems
Researchers explored all aspects of energy use in hog production from the perspective of two systems currently in use in Iowa – conventional confinement systems and bedded hoop barns, according to the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture.

Weaning at 28 Days: Is Creep Feeding Beneficial?
Allowing piglets access to a Phase 1 diet (creep feed) in the farrowing room for the final seven days prior to weaning on day 28 provided no sustained performance benefit, regardless of weaning weight, according to Dr Denise Beaulieu, Janice Shea and...

Genomic Selection for Maternal Traits
According to Norwegian researchers, genomic selection increases genetic gain for traits that are measured on females, which includes several traits with economic importance in maternal pig breeds, and genotyping females is essential to obtain a high accuracy...

Investigation of an Outbreak of Mycobacteriosis in Serbia
After a number of pigs imported to Serbia reacted positively to avian and/or bovine tuberculin, Mycobacter avium subsp. hominissuis was found in porcine and environmental samples from the Lithuanian breeding herd and that peat in Lithuania...

Longitudinal Study of Faecal Salmonella Shedding by Sows
Scientists in Italy report that young sows are more likely to shed Salmonella than older animals, that the post-weaning period is the high-risk period for excretion of Salmonella and that good biosecurity can reduce the Salmonella risk in weaned sows...

Quantification of Campylobacter in Swine before, during and after Slaughter
After measuring Campylobacter levels in pigs on farm, in lairage and at various stages of processing, researchers based at Ohio State University concluded that the risk of a meat product being contaminated is associated with pigs that shed higher concentrations...
