In two studies performed by Scharek et al. [27], [28] the influence of intestinal colonization by a non-pathogenic E. faecium strain, SF68, on the immune system was tested in piglets.
In conclusion, feeding BC rather than MR to the piglets reduced the colonisation of intestine by ETEC and modulated the intestinal immune system, whereas no differences were observed in piglets fed BC and conventionally reared by the sows.
The systemic acute phase response in piglets is manifested by fever, lethargy, tachypnea, and diarrhea.
Increased prevalence of IAV was detected in piglets (MF pigs, GDU, BTW pigs) in all 4 systems, particularly in systems 1, 2, and 4, from winter to early summer, which is consistent with other studies (8 ).
Sublingual (SL) and intranasal (IN) administration of a Bacillus subtilis-based tetanus vaccine was tested in piglets, which more closely mimic the human immune system than mice.
The PRRS viruses (PRRSV) mainly cause reproductive failure in sows and respiratory disease in piglets and therefore significantly impact the productivity of affected pig production systems [ 2].
To support the clinical translation, we investigated a fully image-based internal dosimetry approach for -[18F]flubatine, comparing mouse data collected on a preclinical PET/MRI system to piglet and first-in-human data acquired on a clinical PET/CT system.
The research indicated that pain-related changes of calls in piglets can be identified.
However, the effects of weaning stress on microbial metabolites in piglets are still an unsolved issue.
However, the impact of probiotics on the antioxidant system of piglets remains unclear.
