- - Rearing replacement heifers in the dairy industry is crucial but costly due to high disease susceptibility in preweaned calves, necessitating systematic health monitoring to ensure animal welfare and reduce management costs.
- - A study developed a health-monitoring tool for dairy calves, involving clinical observations and diagnostic tests at three different ages; it included data from 77 calves across nine Danish herds, assessing their immunization and health status.
- - Results highlighted significant health concerns, such as 31% of calves experiencing passive transfer failure, and varying clinical signs of gastrointestinal and respiratory diseases over time, indicating the need for tailored herd-specific health monitoring strategies.
Neomycin is a first-choice antibiotic for treatment of porcine enteritis caused by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC), but little is known about factors influencing resistance to this drug. The aims of this study were to assess antimicrobial resistance and virulence in 325 E. coli isolates obtained in 2020 from various infections in pigs, and to identify factors associated with neomycin resistance development.
