A 7-week-old piglet was presented with a 2-hour history of neurological signs progressing to death. Necropsy, bacteriologic culture, and immunohistochemical staining indicated an unusual case of Streptococcus suis-like bacterial meningitis and S. suis type 3 septicemia. Management and control of this important bacterial disease are discussed.

Effects of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell transplantation in piglet Legg-Calve-Perthes disease models: a pilot study.

This preliminary study investigated the efficacy and safety of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell transplantation in a piglet Legg-Calve-Perthes disease (LCPD) model. The LCPD model was induced in two Landrace piglets (6- and 7-week-old, weighing 12 and 17 kg, respectively) by ligaturing the femoral neck. In the first piglet, the natural LCPD course was observed.

Tryptophan (Trp) has been shown to improve the growth and gut function of weaned piglets. Whether the growth-promoting effect of Trp is due to the improvement in nutrient transport and absorption during weaning or under conditions of inflammation has not been fully characterized. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of Trp on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced changes in glucose and amino acid (AA) transport in the rat jejunum.

Weaning often leaves the piglet vulnerable to gut dysfunction. Little is known about the acute response of a gut mucosa primed by a milk-oriented microbiome before weaning to a plant-oriented microbiome (POM) after weaning. We evaluated the epithelial structure, secretory response and permeability in the small and large intestines of piglets receiving a milk-based (i.

The Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV) induces apoptosis in different organs. Angiotensin II (Ang II) is the main effector of the renin-angiotensin system and participates in apoptosis. Thus, this study aimed to investigate changes in piglet serum Ang II levels following intradermal (ID) and intramuscular (IM) vaccination with a commercial PRRS modified live virus (MLV) vaccine.

To evaluate the feasibility and potential utility of contrast-enhanced ultrasound for real-time imaging of whole-brain perfusion during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), cardiac arrest was induced in 8- to 7-week-old 10-kg piglets ( Sus scrofa domesticus ). Contrast-enhanced ultrasound was performed through a parietal cranial window in the coronal plane visualizing the thalami during hemodynamic-directed CPR. Whole-brain mean and maximum pixel intensities in each slice during resuscitation were calculated.
