Weaned piglets, being immature, demand careful handling to mitigate post-weaning stress in order to avoid immunosuppression and the use of antimicrobials to palliate the effects of disease outbreaks due to poor management.

The effect of santicipatory behaviours, generated by Pavlovian conditioning, on the development of play in early and normally weaned rats. [PDF]
Since the classic studies of Pavlov, a wide variety of researchers have investigated the process of classical conditioning and used it to investigate animal behaviour.

Antibody kinetics against tetanus toxoid before and after primary vaccination of foals
Abstract Background Vaccination recommendations for foals against Clostridium tetani vary. Available studies assessing foal immune responses, maternal antibody interference, or individual variation often used small foal numbers. Objectives To quantify antibody responses after tetanus vaccination in foals and explore associations with passively ...

Interactions between lactobacillus and yeast: A recent update
Abstract Lactobacillus and yeast are microorganisms widely distributed in nature. Their interactions significantly impact fermentation processes, human health, and medical care. However, there is a lack of a systematic summary of the characteristics of these interactions, and the mechanisms underlying these interactions remain unclear.

Sensitive detection systems for infectious agents in xenotransplantation*
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 ...

Alternative farrowing systems: design criteria for farrowing systems based on the biological needs of sows and piglets [PDF]
The construction of a suitable farrowing environment is a continuing dilemma: the piglet's needs must be matched with those of the sow and the farmer during the main phases that constitute farrowing: nest building, parturition and lactation. Difficulties

Multi‐omics reveals gastrointestinal metabolic disorder‐induced diarrhea in postpartum dairy cows
Nutritional diarrhea is a pervasive, costly challenge in dairy production. Using integrated metagenomic and metabolomic profiling, we identified coordinated microbial and metabolic alterations across the rumen, hindgut, and serum. In the rumen, enrichment of Prevotella sp.

Effectiveness of early feeding of suckling piglets under different feeding systems for prestarters
The article compares the effect of early introduction of dry superprestarter 2–14 Lonolac Piglet (Kaudice) and liquid feeding with Piggy Mill (Activepro) milk replacer from the second day of life on the productivity of sows and growth of piglets.
