The Impact Of Attenuated Porcine Reproductive And Respiratory Syndrome (Prrs) Vaccine On The Efficacy Of Subunit Classical Swine Fever Vaccine, R. Madera, L. Wang, A. G. Cino-Ozuna, J. Shi
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Commercial pigs have been routinely injected with multiple vaccines that are either administered separately or co-administered at the same time for convenience, and to minimize pig stress. However, viruses, including attenuated and modified live virus (MLV) vaccines, can modulate host immune responses that could potentially impact the efficacy of co-administered vaccines. Here we report the effects of pre- and co-administered Chinese highly pathogenic porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) virus MLV, JXA1-R, on the efficacy of an emulsion-based classical swine fever virus (CSFV) subunit vaccine, KNB-E2. Immune responses to the CSFV and JXA1-R vaccines were evaluated by testing CSFV-specific and …

A total of 356 finishing pigs (DNA; 241 × 600; initially 196.3 ± 2.43 lb) were used in a44-d growth trial to evaluate nutritional strategies to reduce growth rate of pigs beyond200 lb body weight. A total of 3 diets were manufactured (control, Lys-deficient, andcorn) and arranged into 4 nutritional strategies. In stage 1 (d 0 to 28), pens received oneof two dietary treatments (control or Lys-deficient). Then on d 28, pens of pigs previouslyfed the control diet were separated into 2 groups, one fed the control diet and theother the corn diet. Pens …

Recent research has reported that increasing standardized ileal digestible (SID) Trp:Lys ratio above 20% in finishing pigs fed ractopamine HCl (RAC) resulted in improved growth and carcass performance, however, this response has been inconsistent. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of feeding high SID Trp:Lys ratios with RAC on growth and carcass performance. A total of 1,791 finishing pigs (PIC 1050 × 337, initially 245.1 lb BW) were used in a 27-d study to evaluate the effects of feeding high SID Trp:Lys ratios on growth and carcass performance of pigs fed ractopamine HCl (RAC, Paylean, …

Mortality within livestock production has a substantial impact on economic sustainability of enterprises. The livestock industry has a unique opportunity to maximize animal welfare and production efficiency by minimizing morbidity and mortality. To do so, investigators must appropriately balance the utilization of limited resources with the quantity necessary for robust research. The objective of the study was to illustrate the use of readily implementable statistical models to determine sample size necessary to detect statistically significant differences between groups with varying levels of mortality. To this end, a series of examples were created where the unit to which a treatment is …

The addition of water to the mixer prior to pelleting is sometimes necessary to reach the target moisture content at the end of the conditioning process. However, there are limited data to demonstrate the impact of water addition in the mixer on phytase stability during the pelleting process. In addition, the variation of phytase analysis method may lead to incorrect or biased conclusions for research on industrial phytase stability. Therefore, the objective of this experiment was to determine the effect of water added in the mixer, feed holding time, and phytase analysis method on phytase stability and pellet quality. Treatments …

The objectives of this preliminary study were to determine the ability of a CO2surgical laser to 1) reduce pain, 2) reduce inflammation, and 3) improve wound healing of piglets undergoing surgical castration. Two-day old male Yorkshire × Landrace piglets were used and randomly assigned to one of three treatments (n= 10 piglets/treatment group): surgical castration with the CO2laser, surgical castration with a scalpel, or sham (uncastrated control). Piglets were video recorded in their pens for 1 h pre-procedure and from 0-2, 6-8, and at 24 h post-procedure for behavior scoring. Surgical site images were …
