Landscapes of Enteric Virome Signatures in Early-Weaned Piglets
Microbiology Spectrum, 2022 Diarrhea caused by early-weaning-induced stress can increase mortality rates and reduce growth performance of piglets, seriously harming the livestock industry.

Tail and ear necrosis in piglets of sows with increased weight loss over the suckling period. [PDF]
, 2022 A farm belonging to a Swiss sow pool system reported increased cases of necrosis on the base of the tail or ears in their piglets. Therefore, herd examination was performed in February 2021, and it was found that about half of all examined litters ...

Sow and piglet traits associated with piglet survival at birth and to weaning
Journal of Animal Science, 2020 AbstractAbstractUnderstanding the relationship between sow and piglet characteristics that are associated with stillborn rate and preweaning mortality is beneficial as litter size continues to increase. Two experiments were previously conducted to evaluate prefarrowing nutrition regimens on sow and litter characteristics.

Estimation of Breed Effects on Litter Traits at Birth in Yorkshire and Landrace Pigs
Walailak Journal of Science and Technology, 2011 The purpose of this study was to estimate breed effects on litter traits at birth in the Yorkshire and Landrace breeds at a commercial swine farm in central Thailand. A total of 14,097 litters from 2002 to 2006 were analyzed using a GLM procedure.

Effect of Lactation Environment on Behaviour of Suckling Piglets
Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2015 To investigate the effect of the pen on the welfare of suckling piglets by comparing the behaviours of piglets in either crates or straw enriched pens, sixteen litter piglets in crates or straw enriched pens were used in the present experiment.

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Effects of Probiotics on Growth and Immunity of Piglets
Animals, 2022 Growth promoting antibiotics are used in modern animal husbandry to promote growth and avoid infections. Negative effects of these antibiotics on human health are a big concern and they need to be replaced.

Alloxan Diabetes in the Piglet [PDF]
Nature, 1957 LUKENS1 depancreatized young pigs, and found that the diabetic state which followed was characterized by a slight or absent fasting glucose-excretion, and a low fasting nitrogen-excretion. Ketonuria was marked, but was not accompanied by severe acidosis.

Translophagy—A potential link between autophagy impairment and translational errors
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Neurodegenerative diseases are characterised by the accumulation of abnormal proteins and protein aggregates, but their origin often remains unknown. We propose that selective autophagy removes damaged protein‐making machinery, preventing errors during protein synthesis.
