Summary:
A Spanish study investigated the variation in Average Daily Gain (ADG) between pigs vaccinated with a local Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV) strain and pigs infected with a wild-type virus. Pigs from negative PRRSV farms were infected with a wild-type virus or vaccinated with a local PRRSV strain. The amount of virus shed from the pigs, ADG and their genotype (i.e. ‘WUR’ at a specific protein gene) was assessed. Results showed individual variation in the amount of virus from pigs challenged with a wild-type or a vaccine strain. The presence of the gene trait, WUR, was linked to positive ADG in vaccinated pigs. However, the reverse happened in a virus-free environment where pigs without this gene trait were those that grew fastest. There’s scope for selecting pigs according to their responses to PRRS virus infection – the WUR gene trait may play a role in PRRSV resistance.

Summary:
Haemophilus parasuis is a gram-negative bacillus, responsible for Glässer’s disease, a disease with worldwide distribution characterized by fibrinous polyserositis, polyarthritis, and meningitis in swine. The incidence and prevalence of H. parasuis infection are especially high in developed countries, where it is one of the main causes of lethality and economic loss. This article make a characterization from a molecular perspective of β-Lactam resistance in Haemophilus parasuis.

Review: Are we using probiotics correctly in post-weaning piglets? by Barba-Vidal, E., Martín-Orúe, S.M., and L. Castillejos 2018 Animal 12: 2489-2498
In Significant Impact Groups: Specific alternatives \ Pre-/probiotics; Feed / gut health
Species targeted: Pigs;
Age: Young;
Summary:
This review critically examines the use of probiotics in post-weaning piglets, focusing on challenge situations, and proposes potential strategies to increase consistency in probiotic effects. Given the current lack of reproducibility commonly described with probiotic use, this approach could have significant positive effects upon the efficacy of probiotic products and economic viability of the swine industry. Furthermore, it aims to be useful to swine nutritionists, researchers and the additive industry to critically consider their approach when developing or using probiotic strategies in weaning piglets.

Age: Not stated;
Summary:
Concerns about the acquisition of antibiotic resistant genes in human and animal pathogens is one of the main public health issues. The problem of the emergence of resistant microorganisms such as Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) associated to livestock is closely linked to high use of antimicrobial agents in veterinary care, and international trade of food of animal origin which can encourage the spread of resistant strains. Drug-resistant bacteria may circulate in human and animal populations trough food, water and the environment, and its transmission is encouraged by trade, travel, human migration and transhumance

Species targeted: Pigs;
Age: Adult;
Summary:
The aim was to test two strategies to improve the growth rate of the slow-growth pigs and to increase the batch’s homogeneity at slaughter. In Trial 1 a total of 264 weaned piglets were distributed into 24pens (11 piglets/pen) according to sex and initial body weight (BW) for the transition period (T; 28 d to 64 d).

In Significant Impact Groups: Feed / gut health
Species targeted: Pigs;
Age: Young;
Summary:
The need for a reduction in the use of antibiotics in livestock to safeguard their efficacy requires the development of alternatives. In this line, the use of alternative by-products or ingredients, with functional properties brings the opportunity to improve pig health and thus, reduce medicalization. Therefore, in the present study, we aimed to evaluate the impact of an alternative feeding program based on unmedicalized diets formulated with fibrous by-products and functional feed ingredients on performance and fecal microbiota of young pigs compared to a common weaner diet supplemented with antibiotics. The alternative feeding program could anticipate the gut development of young piglets, which at the end of the nursery period presented a fecal microbiota more similar to that found in fattening animals. Moreover, piglets in the unmedicalized diets showed a trend to reduce the course of diarrhea immediately after weaning. The alternative feeding program showed, however, a reduced growth efficiency during the nursery period that needs to be discussed in the frame of the costs-benefits analysis of reducing antibiotics.
