Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the effects of second litter syndrome (SLS) on the reproductive performance of sows, especially focusing on metrics like piglets born alive (PBA) and farrowing intervals (FI) across up to five reproductive cycles.
- About 47.8% of sows experienced SLS, which significantly decreased their accumulative number of piglets born alive for the first two parities but showed comparable performance in later parities compared to sows without SLS.
- The study concludes that SLS does not significantly harm future reproductive performance, suggesting that sows affected by SLS may not need to be culled, and calls for further research on the underlying mechanisms of PBA fluctuations.
Article Synopsis
- Probiotics, specifically QST 713, were examined for their impact on reproductive performance in multiparous sows during late gestation.
- The study involved 115 sows divided into control and probiotic groups, assessing various reproductive parameters like birth weight and stillbirth rates.
- Results showed that QST 713 reduced stillbirth and born dead rates while increasing piglet birth weight, indicating improved reproductive performance in sows.
African swine fever virus (ASFV) genotype II is endemic to Vietnam. We detected recombinant ASFV genotypes I and II (rASFV I/II) strains in domestic pigs from 6 northern provinces in Vietnam. The introduction of rASFV I/II strains could complicate ongoing ASFV control measures in the region.

In this study, VNUA/HY/ASF1 strain isolated from the first ASF outbreak was used to infect 10 eight-week-old pigs orally with 10 HAD per animal.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of farrowing induction on the following characteristics: (1) Proportion of sows that farrowed during working hours, (2) stillbirth rate, (3) number of stillbirths per farrow, (4) dystocia rate per farrow, (5) dystocia rate (the proportion of farrowings that had at least one dystocia event), (6) number of dystocia events per farrow, (6) farrowing duration, (7) birth interval, and (8) birth weight.
Materials And Methods: Thirty-eight Landrace x Yorkshire sows were randomly allocated into two groups; the control group and the treatment group.
Recent studies have shown that probiotic supplementation during late gestation exerts some beneficial effects on reproductive performance of the sows. This study aimed to investigate effects of QST 713 supplementation in gilts on different reproductive criteria. A total of 94 Camborough-48 gilts at day 85 of gestation were randomly allocated into 2 groups: (1) control diet; (2) control diet + 4 × 10 CFU QST 713 per day.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAfrican swine fever (ASF) is a devastating disease of swine and the most important disease for the pork industry. Since the outbreaks in 2007 in the Caucasian region, it has been spreading to the West and East quite swiftly. In this study we have analyzed the clinical signs and pathological features of the first outbreaks on ASF in Vietnam in 2019, caused by an isolate with 100% similarity to the genotype II (p72) isolates from Georgia in 2007 and China in 2018.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFType I/III interferons provide powerful and universal innate intracellular defense mechanisms against viruses. Among the antiviral effectors induced, Mx proteins of some species appear as key components of defense against influenza A viruses. It is expected that such an antiviral protein must display a platform dedicated to the recognition of said viruses.
