Successful Brachyspira hyodysenteriae Eradication Through a Combined Approach of a Zinc Chelate Treatment and Adapted Management Measures [PDF]
PathogensBrachyspira hyodysenteriae is the primary cause of swine dysentery, characterized by bloody to mucoid diarrhea due to mucohaemorhagic colitis in pigs. The disease primarily affects pigs during the growth and finishing stage. The control and prevention of
