Lack of Transmission of Porcine Circovirus Type 2 to Weanling Pigs by Feeding them Spray-Dried Porcine Plasma
J. Pujols, S. López-Soria, J. Segalés, M. Fort, M. Sibila, R. Rosell, D. Solanes, L. Russell, J. Campbell, J. Crenshaw, E. Weaver, and J. Polo
An experiment was conducted to determine whether spray-dried porcine plasma containing 2·47 x 105 DNA copies of porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV-2) could infect weanling pigs when fed to them. Five specific pathogen-free (SPF) weanling pigs were fed ad libitum for 45 days a control diet and six pigs were fed a test diet containing 8 kg SDPP per 100 kg feed. The two groups were housed in separate biosecurity level-3 rooms. None of the pigs in either group developed any clinical signs or became PCV-2 viraemic or seroconverted.
