Mathieu Cortyl presents a trial that confirms that an isotonic protein solution significantly reduced Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus shedding, maintained intestinal tissue integrity, and modulated the immune response and tissue repair.
Background
Anecdotally, the isotonic protein solution...
Abstract
The 2018 African swine fever (ASF) outbreak highlighted the importance of biosecurity in food production systems. Despite the significant economic impacts, the sociopsychological consequences on decision-making have been overlooked. Previous studies have focused on algebraic models and simulation-based models...
A recent technical paper by Acosta et al., presented at the AFST conference in July 2024, explores the impacts of xylanase supplementation in the diets of sows. The study, conducted by researchers at the University of Illinois, delves into...
Abstract
With advancements in research and the necessity of improving the performance of bioelectrochemical system (BES), coupling anaerobic digestion (AD) with BES is crucial for energy gain from wastewater and bioremediation. Hybridization of BES-AD concept opens new avenues for pollutant...
Abstract
Two experiments were conducted to test the hypothesis that apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of gross energy (GE), digestible energy (DE), and metabolizable energy (ME) in pistachio shell powder are not different from those in soybean hulls when fed...

Introduction
Continued improvements in genetic selection and management have enabled the U.S. pork industry to be extremely successful in...
Background & Objectives
Porcine Circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is a ubiquitous virus that can lead to significant production losses in all of its clinical manifestations: PCV2 systemic disease (PCV2-SD), PCV2 reproductive disease (PCV2-RD), porcine dermatitis and nephropathy syndrome (PDNS)
and subclinical...
