Introduction: Preventing potential foreign animal diseases is a...
Swine Influenza A Virus (IAV-S) imposes a significant impact on the pork industry and has been deemed a significant threat to global public health due to its zoonotic potential. The most effective method of preventing IAV-S is vaccination. While...
Abstract
Background Reduction of the particle size of corn increases energy digestibility and concentrations of digestible and metabolizable energy. Pelleting may also reduce particle size of grain, but it is not known if there are interactions between particle size reduction...
Highlights
•
The treatment of swine manure increased the bacterial diversity.
•
Macrolide and rifamycin resistance genes were found in swine manure after treatment.
•
Waste stabilization ponds failed to eliminate antimicrobial resistance genes.
Abstract
The bacterial composition of and the circulation of antimicrobial...
Introduction
Environmental enrichment provides an opportunity to improve the living conditions of farm animals. Current farming systems offer little stimulation, other than food and water and animals are often closely confined in groups (with relatively little space per animal). Such...
Some key associations show that selection for:
• Growth rate will not significantly improve pork quality traits
• Feed conversion decreases pork quality by making pork lighter in color
• Leaner carcasses will reduce marbling, increase cooking loss and paleness of hams
•...

Tonisity International Limited (“Tonisity”), an animal health and nutrition company based in Ireland, is pleased to announce that its flagship product, Tonisity Px,...
Abstract
Summary
Several propagation routes drive animal disease dissemination, and among these routes, contaminated vehicles traveling between farms have been associated with indirect disease transmission. In this study, we used near-real-time vehicle movement data and vehicle cleaning efficacy to reconstruct the...
What if a PCR test could give us some information regarding the viability of the pathogen targeted? This new publication from the MycoLab led by Dr.s Albert Canturri and Maria Pieters, is sharing the development of a new mRNA-PCR...
