Characteristics of biter and victim piglets apparent before a tail biting outbreak [PDF]

Little is known about the characteristics of biters and victims before the appearance of a tail-biting outbreak in groups of pigs. This study aimed to characterise biters and victims (according to gender and performance) and to quantify their behavioural

Higher light intensity and mat temperature attract piglets to creep areas in farrowing pens

Animal, 2019
Loose farrowing pens have been considered as alternatives to crates to enhance sow welfare. A major concern with pen systems is often higher piglet pre-weaning mortality, especially due to crushing by the sow.

Congenital Suipoxvirus Infection in Newborn Piglets in an Austrian Piglet-Producing Farm

Microorganisms
In February 2020, a fourth parity sow gave birth to a litter of piglets with four piglets presenting pox-like skin lesions. Lesions were distributed over the whole skin surface and ulcerative lesions were also observed on the mucosa of the oral cavity. The skin lesions were described as looking like pox lesions.

Enhanced Infection Resistance and Regenerative Healing of Titanium Implants via Peptide‐Loaded Biodegradable Coatings

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This study presents a new biodegradable coating for titanium implants using a natural antimicrobial peptide, caerin 1.9. Applied via solvent casting, the coating offers sustained antibacterial protection and promotes healing. Tested on 3D‐printed porous titanium scaffolds, it effectively prevented infection—including against resistant bacteria—while ...

Effects of the commensal microbiota on spleen and mesenteric lymph node immune function: investigation in a germ-free piglet model

Frontiers in Microbiology
Commensal microbial–host interaction is crucial for host metabolism, growth, development, and immunity. However, research on microbial–host immunity in large animal models has been limited.
