Reducing the protein content in diets for weaner pigs to control post-weaning diarrhoea: physiological and metabolic responses of the gastrointestinal tract [PDF]
, 2010 A series of experiments was conducted with weaner pigs to examine the effects of dietary protein content, duration of feeding diets after weaning and enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) infection on physiological and metabolic responses of the ...

Intestinal gene expression in pigs: effects of reduced feed intake during weaning and potential impact of dietary components [PDF]
, 2011 The weaning transition is characterised by morphological, histological and microbial changes, often leading to weaning-associated disorders. These intestinal changes can partly be ascribed to the lack of luminal nutrition arising from the reduced feed ...

Antibody kinetics against tetanus toxoid before and after primary vaccination of foals
Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.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 ...

Increasing the viscosity of the intestinal contents stimulates proliferation of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli and Brachyspira pilosicoli in weaner pigs [PDF]
, 2002 The present study was designed to evaluate the effect of increased viscosity of the intestinal digesta on proliferation of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli and the intestinal spirochaete Brachyspira pilosicoli in weaned pigs.

Vocal response of piglets to weaning: effect of piglet age
Applied Animal Behaviour Science, 1997 Piglets vocalize a great deal during the first few days after weaning. The aim of this experiment was to determine if the calls given by piglets vary in response to one factor thought to influence post-weaning adaptation: weaning age. In 22 litters, each containing a minimum of 9 piglets, 3 piglets were weaned under identical conditions at 3, 4 and 5 ...
