A cohort study of post-weaning multisystemic wasting syndrome and PCV2 in 178 pigs from birth to 14 weeks on a single farm in England [PDF]

, 2010
Our hypothesis was that pigs that develop post-weaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS) are detectable from an early age with signs of weight loss and other clinical and serological abnormalities.

Preweaning piglet mortality in relation to placental efficiency.

Journal of animal science, 2005
The relationship between placental efficiency (PLEFF, i.e., the ratio of birth weight [BWB] to placental weight [PLW]) and neonatal pig vitality as measured by the probability of preweaning death of live born piglets was examined for 1,036 live born piglets of 118 litters.

Heat Stress and Gut Microbiome Dynamics in Poultry: Interplay, Consequences, and Mitigation Strategies

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Heat stress disrupts gut microbial balance in poultry, impairing nutrient absorption and immunity. This review outlines the interplay between thermal stress and microbiome dynamics and discusses integrative mitigation strategies, probiotics, phytogenics, cooling systems, and genetic adaptation to enhance poultry resilience.

Temporary confinement of loose-housed hyperprolific sows reduces piglet mortality. [PDF]

Journal of animal science, 2015
The objective of this study was to investigate piglet mortality in a commercial setting where sows were accommodated in a loose-housed system with an option to confine the sow for a few days around farrowing and during early lactation. The study was conducted in a Danish piggery where records were obtained from 2,139 farrowings.

Trends and Current Situation of China's Meat Sector

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As the world's largest meat producer, consumer, and importer, China's meat sector has undergone profound transformation over the past decade, driven by biological crises (e.g., African Swine Fever), environmental policies, and global market integration. This study analyzes the sector's production restructuring, consumption diversification, and

GROWTH RATE AND MORTALITY IN SUCKLING PIGLETS AND THEIR CORRELATION TO THE SOWS' MILK YIELD

Scientific Papers Animal Science and Biotechnologies, 2023
Piglets from 116 sows were weighed at birth, on the 1st; 2nd and 3rd day of life and upon weaning. Based on the weight growth, the sow milk production was calculated.

Relationship between the behaviour of sows at 6 months old and the behaviour and performance at farrowing

Animal, 2009
Piglet crushing remains a major problem in pig production. Reduced crushing might be obtained through genetic selection on sow behavioural traits. The aim of the study was to assess the relationship between behavioural responses at 6 months of age ...

The Pig Farm Manager for Modelling Pig Production Systems [PDF]

Before setting up or changing a pig farm operation, the consequences of the farm set up must be explored and changes planned. To calculate technical and economic consequences a farm manager model for pig production systems, the Pig Farm Manager, has been

Integrating One Health to Mitigate the Emergence and Spread of Antimicrobial Resistance in Livestock and Aquaculture

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an escalating global threat driven by antimicrobial use in aquaculture and livestock. Resistant pathogens and genes can spread across humans, animals, and the environment through interconnected ecosystems. Using a One Health approach, this review emphasizes antimicrobial stewardship, regulatory strengthening, enhanced ...
