The relationship between placental and piglet birth weights and growth traits
TL;DR: The objective of this experiment was to examine the effects of RATIO on economically important production traits (piglet survival to weaning, 21-day weights, days to 105 kg, backfat depth and loin muscle area at 105 kg) in a purebred breeding stock herd of Finnish Yorkshire and Landrace pigs.

TL;DR: The Central European PEDV strains showed rather low virulence under experimental conditions, and pre-inoculation of sows led to a solid protection of their offspring, which is the prerequisite for a sow vaccination concept that could help to prevent PED induced losses in the piglet sector.
Journal ArticleDOI
The live attenuated Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae triple-deletion mutant ΔapxIC ΔapxIIC ΔapxIV-ORF1 strain, SLW05, Immunizes pigs against lethal challenge with Haemophilus parasuis.
Shulin Fu,Jiwen Ou,Minmin Zhang,Juan Xu,Huazhen Liu,Jinlin Liu,Fangyan Yuan,Huanchun Chen,Weicheng Bei +8 more
TL;DR: The SLW05 strain was found to elicit a strong humoral antibody response in pigs and to confer significant protection against challenge with a lethal dose of H. parasuis SH0165 or MD0322, and is the first report that a live attenuated A. pleuropneumoniae vaccine withSLW05 can protect against lethal H. Parasuis vaccine.

TL;DR: The finding suggests that the L. intracellularis vaccine program has effects on the substantial health and economic benefits in the Korean swine industry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased frequency of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus shedding and lesions in suckling pigs compared to nursery pigs and protective immunity in nursery pigs after homologous re-challenge

TL;DR: The objectives were to compare the disease course following inoculation with PEDV isolate US/Colorado/2013 in naïve 10 day and 8 week-old pigs, and contrast the naïve response to homologous challenge in 8-week- old pigs.
