It’s one of the most devastating and economically damaging pig diseases in the world: Porcine circovirus associated disease (PCVAD). It can strike early or appear in a late form. And once it strikes, the consequences are never good.

Salmonellae are rod-shaped, gram-negative bacteria which, not only cause significant disease in pigs, but are considered to be among the most important food-borne pathogens. Globally more than 2500 types have been described for Salmonella worldwide in animals, humans and in the environment; the two most relevant in pigs are S. Choleraesuis and S. Typhimurium.
