In the present study, we created the weight gain models with Min and Yorkshire pigs and conducted the metagenomics and metabolomics of colon contents and transcriptomics of colon tissue. Further, we revealed the characteristics and functions of the colonic microbiota in Min and Yorkshire pigs and analyzed their interactions with the host. Overall, this

Modelling control strategies against Classical Swine Fever: influence of traders and markets using static and temporal networks in Ecuador [PDF]
Classical swine fever (CSF) in Ecuador is prevalent since 1940, pig farming represents an important economic and cultural sector. Recently, the National Veterinary Service (NVS) has implemented individual identification of pigs, movement control and mandatory vaccination against CSF, looking for a future eradication. Our aim was to characterise the pig

Reassortment process after co-infection of pigs with avian H1N1 and swine H3N2 influenza viruses
Background The influenza A virus is highly variable, which, to some degree, is caused by the reassortment of viral genetic material. This process plays a major role in the generation of novel influenza virus strains that can emerge in a new host ...

Eradication of Swine Vesicular Disease in Italy [PDF]
Swine vesicular disease (SVD) is a contagious viral disease of pigs clinically indistinguishable from other vesicular diseases, such as foot and mouth disease, vesicular stomatitis, vesicular exanthema of swine, and idiopathic vesicular disease. In Italy, where SVD was first reported in 1966, an eradication program started in 1995. The program, updated

Gamithromycin in swine: Pharmacokinetics and clinical evaluation against swine respiratory disease [PDF]
AbstractThe pharmacokinetics of gamithromycin were evaluated in 26 male castrated and female crossbred swine administered gamithromycin 15% w/v (Zactran®, Boehringer Ingelheim) intravenously at 6 mg/kg bodyweight or intramuscularly at 3, 6 or 12 mg/kg bodyweight. Blood samples were collected up to Day 10 to establish the plasma profile of gamithromycin,

Interpretable machine learning applied to on-farm biosecurity and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus [PDF]
Effective biosecurity practices in swine production are key in preventing the introduction and dissemination of infectious pathogens. Ideally, biosecurity practices should be chosen by their impact on bio-containment and bio-exclusion, however quantitative supporting evidence is often unavailable.
