Controlling E. Coli in the Weaned Pig
نویسنده
چکیده
Clinical expression of disease associated with post weaning E. coli depends on the interplay of several factors. These include the dose of pathogen, a genetically susceptible pig population, diet composition, weight and age of weaned pig, environmental management, presence of confounding pathogens, and general farm management practices. Reducing the dose of E. coli exposure using sanitation procedures between groups is one of the most important means of controlling expression of disease associated with this bacterial infection.

Diarrhoeal diseases in piglets caused by Escherichia coli are responsible for substantial losses each year in the Australian pig industry. A cross-sectional survey was conducted (September 2013-May 2014) across 22 commercial pig herds located in southeastern Australia: NSW (n = 9); VIC (n = 10); and SA (n = 3), to estimate the prevalence of E. coli associated diarrhoea in pre- and post-weaned p...
متن کاملExperimental Induction of Escherichia coli Diarrhoea in Weaned Piglets
Escherichia coli diarrhoea is a multifactorial condition which usually occurs during the post-weaning and is responsible for economic losses in pig production. One approach, to evaluate if substitute of antibiotic in vivo is effective in controlling postweaning diarrhea in the gastrointestinal tract ecosystem, is to use an appropriate disease model. However, there are still many criticisms rela...
متن کاملProteomic Analysis of Duodenal Tissue from Escherichia coli F18-Resistant and -Susceptible Weaned Piglets
Diarrhea and edema disease in weaned piglets due to infection by Escherichia coli F18 is a leading cause of economic loss in the pig industry. Resistance to E. coli F18 depends on expression of receptors on intestinal epithelial cells, and individual immunity. This study was conducted in Sutai pig E. coli F18-resistant and -susceptible full sib-pair individuals, identified on the basis of resou...
متن کاملEffect of oral egg antibody in experimental F18+ Escherichia coli infection in weaned pigs.
The protection conferred by egg antibody specific for F18-fimbriae against infection with F18+ Escherichia coli was studied in controlled passive immunization trials involving weaned pigs. Parameters of protection consisted of body weight gain, frequency and severity of diarrhea and recovery of the challenge strain of F18+ E. coli. Weaned pigs at four weeks of age were challenge exposed once da...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The clinical onset and severity of intestinal disorders in humans and animals can be profoundly impacted by early life stress. Here we investigated the impact of early weaning stress in pigs on intestinal physiology, clinical disease, and immune response to subsequent challenge with enterotoxigenic F18 E. coli (ETEC). METHODOLOGY Pigs weaned from their dam at 16 d, 18 d, a...
