Behavioural studies show: Differences in suckling-activity of piglets and/or feed intake after vaccination can be explained largely by the tolerance or intolerance of piglets to the vaccines applied.
Inflammation of specific udder segments can occur at any stage during the lactation.
When milk-release is impaired by mastitis in one or more udder segments, there is the threat that FIL (a protein) will be released: when the concentration of this protein in the udder milk in creases, milk production is suppressed and eventually milk flow will stop.
In normally developing suckling pigs, although a piglet breathes from soon after birth, the lung’s tissue increases its size and function during the first 14 days of life. The oxygen transfer continually improves during this time.
BECAL (The Boehringer Ingelheim Economic Calculator) was created in collaboration with industry experts to provide a convenient tool for the economic analysis of vaccination interventions. The tool evaluates preventative health measures by easily calculating return on investment and benefit-cost ratios based on your production data. BECAL enables effective and proactive planning to help you to shape the future of swine health.
Recondition skinny sows during gestation
Increase the quantity of feed from d85 of gestation onwards: this will maximise the glycogen reserves of the newly born piglets
Ensure farm-specific vaccination schemes (in collaboration with herd vet) are complied with to result in: Stable immunity of sows as well as their piglets via colostrum-intake Optimal embryonic development
Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica, Inc., last week transferred ownership of its Risk Assessment Program for porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) to the American Association of swine Veterinarians (AASV).
