Prevalence of an inflammation and necrosis syndrome in suckling piglets

Animal, 2019
The current study describes the results obtained from clinical examination of over 4700 suckling piglets from 19 individual herds in Germany. In this cohort the prevalence of inflammation and necrosis in the tails, ears, claw coronary bands, heels and teats was determined using a pre-defined scoring system.

Personalities in female domesticated pigs: behavioural and physiological indications [PDF]

, 2000
The inconclusive evidence so far on the existence of distinct personality types in domesticated pigs, led us to perform the present experiment. A total of 128 gilts from 31 sows were systematically studied from birth to slaughter in two identical trials.

Evaluation of a Product Intended for Microbiological Control in Animal Production, and Its Combination With Halquinol

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Activo Liquid and Halquinol inhibit Salmonella and Escherichia coli in culture media. Activo Liquid exhibits bactericidal action, whereas HA is bacteriostatic, and their combination results in positive or indifferent interactions. This combination effectively inhibits E. coli throughout digestion simulation, thus reducing the required concentrations of

Review on euthanasia of suckling piglets on farm

, 2023
The majority of animal losses in pig production occur during the first days postpartum, i.e. in new-born piglets. The necessity to euthanasia occurs particularly during this first period of pigs' life. The review will therefore focus on the euthanasia of suckling piglets.
