The pathogenesis of the post‐weaning syndrome in weaned piglets; a review [PDF]

Veterinary Quarterly, 1992
This review deals with the pathogenesis of the post-weaning syndrome. This syndrome includes post-weaning diarrhoea (PWD), oedema disease (OD) and endotoxin shock (ES). The role of different enteropathogenic Escherichia coli bacteria and some other predisposing factors relating to this post-weaning syndrome (PWS) are discussed.

The biological stress of early weaned piglets [PDF]

Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2013
Pigs experience biological stress such as physiological, environmental, and social challenges when weaned from the sow. The process of weaning is one of the most stressful events in the pig's life that can contribute to intestinal and immune system dysfunctions that result in reduced pig health, growth, and feed intake, particularly during the first ...

Impact of bioactive substances on the gastrointestinal tract and performance of weaned piglets: a review [PDF]

, 2009
The EU ban on in-feed antibiotics has stimulated research on weaning diets as a way of reducing post-weaning gut disorders and growth check in pigs. Many bioactive components have been investigated but only few have shown to be effective.

The Maturing Development of Gut Microbiota in Commercial Piglets during the Weaning Transition

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Early weaned piglets are vulnerable to diarrhea because of weaning stress and immaturity of intestinal tract. Compelling evidence suggests that gut microbiota is vital to host health.

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.
