Sensitive detection systems for infectious agents in xenotransplantation*
Xenotransplantation, EarlyView., 2020 Abstract Xenotransplantation of pig cells, tissues, or organs may be associated with transmission of porcine microorganisms, first of all of viruses, to the transplant recipient, potentially inducing a disease (zoonosis). I would like to define detection systems as the complex of sample generation, sample preparation, sample origin, time of sampling ...

Amino Acids Influencing Intestinal Development and Health of the Piglets
Animals, 2019 The amino acids and other components of diet provide nourishment for piglet intestinal development and maturation. However, early-weaned piglets struggle with tremendous stress, impairing normal intestinal health and leading to intestinal dysfunction and

Characteristics of biter and victim piglets apparent before a tail biting outbreak [PDF]
Little is known about the characteristics of biters and victims before the appearance of a tail-biting outbreak in groups of pigs. This study aimed to characterise biters and victims (according to gender and performance) and to quantify their behavioural

Increasing weaning age of piglets from 4 to 7 weeks reduces stress, increases post-weaning feed intake but does not improve intestinal functionality [PDF]
, 2010 This study tested the hypothesis that late weaning and the availability of creep feed during the suckling period compared with early weaning, improves feed intake, decreases stress and improves the integrity of the intestinal tract.

Diarrhea: The Nemesis of the Artificially Reared, Early Weaned Piglet and a Strategy for Defense
Journal of Animal Science, 1986 Rearing early weaned piglets artificially for the purposes of increasing the efficiency of the sow is an attractive management concept. However, high death losses resulting from diarrhea in artificially reared piglets have dampered enthusiasm for early ...

Amino acid requirement of weaned piglets
, 2023 The present study was conducted in order to update the amino acid recommendations for piglets that are published by the foundation Centraal Veevoederbureau (CVB). The amino acid recommendations have not been updated since 1996. Continued genetic improvement, the increased availability of free amino acids and the trend to reduce crude protein levels in ...
