Article Synopsis
- Erysipelas continues to significantly impact the pig industry economically, and preventing it in young pigs relies heavily on maternal immunity, which can be enhanced through strategic vaccination.
- A study investigated the effects of two vaccination strategies (pre-farrowing vs. post-farrowing) on antibody levels in sows and their piglets, using two different tests to assess changes in immunity.
- Results indicated that pre-farrowing vaccination led to higher antibody levels in both sows and their offspring compared to post-farrowing vaccination, with beneficial effects on piglet immunity lasting into the post-weaning period.
