Identification of viral pathogens in aborted fetuses and stillborn piglets from cases of swine reproductive failure in Spain.
Jaime Maldonado,Joaquim Segalés,D. Martínez-Puig,Maria Calsamiglia,Pere Riera,Mariano Domingo,Carlos Artigas +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that PRRSV is one of the most important infectious agents, if not the most relevant one, associated with fetal infection leading to abortion or premature farrowing in Spain and other viral pathogens seem to have a minor impact on reproductive disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carcass condemnation causes of growth retarded pigs at slaughter.
TL;DR: Arcanobacterium pyogenes, either alone or in combination with other agents, was the main bacterial species isolated from abscesses, osteomyelitis and arthritis (73.5%) and direct economical losses associated with condemnation were calculated to be 30,000 Euro.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of floor type and stocking density on leg weakness, osteochondrosis and claw disorders in slaughter pigs
TL;DR: It can be said that the examined floor types do not have the same effect on the different aspects of leg weaknesses and claw disorders, and clinical leg problems are best on slatted floors and best in pens with straw, but claw disorders are worst on solid floors without straw.
