On the carbohydrate metabolic response to an experimental infection with Brachyspira hyodysenteriae (swine dysentery) in pigs [PDF]
The carbohydrate metabolic response to experimentally induced swine dysentery was studied in crossbreed pigs. Twelve pigs, with a mean weight of ~20 kg, were orally inoculated with Brachyspira hyodysenteriae strain B204.
