Excellent- More about Instant Insights: Bacterial Diseases Affecting Pigs
Four peer-reviewed literature reviews on bacterial diseases affecting pigs are included in this collection, covering topics such as the causes and epidemiology of major pathogens, identification and classification techniques, the development of dysbiosis and post-weaning diarrhoea, and methods of improving gut function to optimise health and prevent pathogen colonization.
Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 144 pages

Publisher: Burleigh Dodds Science Publishing Limited
This comprehensive collection presents four peer-reviewed literature reviews on bacterial diseases affecting pigs. In the first chapter, recent research on the causes and epidemiology of major bacteria, viruses, and parasites in pig production is summarized, with a focus on those that have a significant impact on safety and global production, such as Escherichia coli (E. coli), Salmonella typhimurium, and African swine fever virus. The second chapter delves into classical phenotypic characteristics and advanced molecular techniques for identifying and classifying bacterial pathogens that affect swine health and performance. It explores the various modes of transmission, as well as the commonly used measures for prevention and control, including vaccinations.
The third chapter examines the development of dysbiosis and post-weaning diarrhoea (PWD) in piglets and the substantial economic losses these diseases cause to the global pig industry. It considers the role of animal nutrition and dietary strategies in optimizing gut function as a means of preventing dysbiosis and PWD. The final chapter assesses methods of improving gut function in pigs to optimize health and prevent pathogen colonization. It discusses research on genes associated with pathogen resistance and porcine immune response and reviews the role of dietary and nutritional strategies in preventing intestinal pathogen colonization.
These literature reviews provide valuable insights into the complex dynamics of bacterial diseases in pigs, highlighting the need for continued research and development in this field to ensure the sustainability and productivity of the global pig industry.
