Postpartum dysgalactia Syndrome (PDS) is characterized by insufficient or absent milk production in sows. Among the various associated clinical signs, fever is one of the main reasons for treatment. Rectal…

Towards a gradual end to tail docking: the experience of two French experimental farms

The gradual phasing out of tail docking should be considered when tail biting is not observed. The aim is not to unilaterally stop tail docking, due to the risk of…

Postpartum dysgalactia syndrom: can risk practices be identified in affected pig farms?

Postpartum Dysgalactia Syndrome (PDS) remains common in sow herds. Prevention is difficult due to its multifactorial etiology involving hormonal disturbances, stress, digestive or general healt disorders. This study aims to…

Predicted PK/PD inadequacy of amoxicillin delivered in drinking water against respiratory pathogens in post-weaning piglets: can time-restricted dosing improve animals’ exposure and potential treatment efficacy?

Collective treatments via drinking water allow rapid and targeted treatment of many animals as soon as disease is detected, but inter-animal variability in drinking behaviour can lead to over- or…
