AbstractAsia is a major pig producer of the world, and at present, African swine
fever virus (ASFV) continues to significantly impact the Asian pig industry.
Since more than 50% of the world’s pig population is in Asia, ASFV outbreaks in
Asia will affect the global pig industry. Prior to the introduction of ASF,
several outbreaks of major swine viruses occurred in Asia over the last two
decades, i... hiện toàn bộ

AbstractDeliberate infection of humans with smallpox, also known as variolation,
was a common practice in Asia and dates back to the fifteenth century. The

British physician. One of the first pig vaccines, which targeted the bacterium
Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae, was introduced in 1883 in France by Louis Pasteur.

Abstract Background Gut microbial anaerobic fermentation produces short-chain
fatty acids (SCFA), which are important substrates for energy metabolism and
anabolic processes in mammals. SCFA can regulate the inflammatory response and
increase the intestinal barrier integrity by enhancing the tight junction
protein (TJp) functions, which prevent the passage of antigens through the
paracellular spac... hiện toàn bộ

Abstract Background Low space allowance (SA) and mixing may result in reduced
growth performance (GP) and animal welfare issues because of adverse social
behaviours directed to pen mates. This could be exacerbated in pens with single
space feeders owing to social facilitation of feeding behaviour. The present
study aimed to investigate the effect of SA and mixing on GP and body lesions
(BL) in pen... hiện toàn bộ
