Welcome to this week's newsletterEditorial – Report Highlights Potential Dangers of Antimicrobials in Farm Livestock 
We have 6 new features this week: Controlling Price Volatility in Food Concerns over volatility in the food and agriculture market stem from fears over price rises and behind this, fears over food security, writes ThePigSite editor in chief, Chris Harris. Seasonality in Pigs A summary of the findings to date from a research project carried out by the Faculty of Biological Sciences at the University of Leeds, published by BPEX in its series, Research into Action, number 10. Indications and Patterns of Therapeutic Use of Antimicrobial Agents in Danish Pig Production Antimicrobial usage increased significantly between 2002 and 2008 in all classes of Danish pigs, and most were administered to treat gastrointestinal infections, especially in weaners, according to a recently published study. Farm Level Risk Factors Associated with Severity of PMWS Environmental and management factors were found to be related to post-weaning multi-systemic wasting syndrome (PMWS) severity and pathogens other than porcine circovirus (PCV) are possible co-factors, according to researchers at the UK's Royal Veterinary College. Probiotics Influence F4 (K88)-Positive Enterotoxigenic E. coli Attachment and Intestinal Cytokine Expression in Weaned Pigs One of the probiotics tested modulated intestinal immune functions and influenced host interaction with ETEC F4 and so could be a complementary approach to consider in strategies to improve intestinal health and reduce the use of antibiotics in weaner feed, according to researchers based in Quebec, Canada. Mycotoxin Risk Management and the Successful Use of Enzyme-Producing Microorganisms Mycotoxin risk management tool involves both the elimination of mycotoxins by adsorptive materials, and the conversion of their toxic structures into non-toxic, harmless metabolites, according to Inês Rodrigues, Technical Manager for Biomin Holding.
