13. Spray-dried egg for weanling pigs. / O ovo em pó na alimentação de leitões recém-desmamados.
Foram realizados dois experimentos para determinar a composição química, os coeficientes de digestibilidade de nutrientes e os valores de energia e proteína digestíveis do ovo em pó (OP) e avaliar o desempenho e os componentes sanguíneos e plasmáticos de leitões recém-desmamados alimentados com dietas contendo níveis crescentes de proteína do OP

14. Emetic action of staphylococcal enterotoxin A on weanling pigs.
Peroral and intraduodenal administration of staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA) to weanling pigs elicited an emetic response. Peroral administration of an emetic dose of SEA resulted in a single emetic episode occurring 90 to 180 min after dosing. Intraduodenal administration via a surgically implanted catheter of 100 or 150 micrograms of SEA resulted in mult

15. Rotavirus and hemolytic enteropathogenic Escherichia coli in weanling diarrhea of pigs.
Since the turn of the century, Escherichia coli has been implicated in the etiology of weanling diarrhea (colibacillosis). However, rotavirus--a virus that destroys enterocytes--has been shown recently to be causally associated with weanling diarrhea of pigs. The role of both rotavirus and hemolytic enteropathogenic E. coli in weanling diarrhea was assessed

16. Cholera toxin effects on fluid secretion, adenylate cyclase, and cyclic AMP in porcine small intestine.
The effects of cholera toxin on mucosal cyclic nucleotide concentrations and on net fluid secretion in the porcine small intestine are reported. Cholera toxin causes net secretion of fluid into the small intestine of weanling pigs, and secretory rates are dependent on the dose of the toxin placed in intestinal loops. Intestinal secretion due to cholera toxin

17. Hematology and biochemistry reference values for Ontario swine.
The purpose of this study was to establish blood reference values for Ontario swine from various age groups. Weanling pigs, feeder pigs, gilts and sows on 11 randomly selected swine farms were sampled using the orbital sinus bleeding technique. Routine hematological and biochemical determinations were performed using whole blood and serum. For the variables

18. Phenotype and genotype of Escherichia coli isolated from pigs with postweaning diarrhea in Hungary.
A total of 205 Escherichia coli isolates from 88 diarrheal weanling (4- to 10-week-old) pigs from 59 farms were tested by slide agglutination for K88, K99, F41, and 987P antigens. K88 antigen was detected in 61% of the isolates representing 60% of the pigs and 56% of the farms. K88 antigen was associated with serogroup O149 and 91% of the K88+ isolates. K99,

19. Cephamycin C treatment of induced swine salmonellosis.
Weanling pigs in groups of 12 were infected orally with Salmonella choleraesuis and were treated intramuscularly with doses of cephamycin C ranging from 12.5 to 337.5 mg twice daily for 10 days beginning 1 day postinoculation. Pigs in two other infected groups either received 300 mg of tetracycline orally on a similar schedule or served as nonmedicated contr

20. Immunogenicity and Pathogenicity of Chimeric Infectious DNA Clones of Pathogenic Porcine Circovirus Type 2 (PCV2) and Nonpathogenic PCV1 in Weanling Pigs
Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is the primary causative agent of postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS), whereas the ubiquitous porcine circovirus type 1 (PCV1) is nonpathogenic for pigs. We report here the construction and characterization of two chimeric infectious DNA clones of PCV1 and PCV2. The chimeric PCV1-2 clone contains the PCV2 capsid

21. Metrical analysis of growth changes in the jaws and teeth of normal, protein deficient and calorie deficient pigs.
Weanling pigs were separated into three groups: control animals were allowed unlimited food; protein deficient animals were allowed unlimited carbohydrate or fat but restricted in protein intake; calorie deficient animals were restricted in total food intake. The skulls and teeth of animals killed at one year and at two years of age were measured from radiog

22. An enzymatic mutant of Shiga-like toxin II variant is a vaccine candidate for edema disease of swine.
Edema disease (ED) of weanling pigs is caused by an infection with Escherichia coli that produces Shiga-like toxin II variant (SLT-IIv). Pathology identical to that caused by ED can be duplicated in pigs that are injected with less than 10 ng of purified SLT-IIv per kg of body weight. Therefore, SLT-IIv was mutated to create an immunoreactive form of the tox

23. Physicochemical characterization of porcine pararotavirus and detection of virus and viral antibodies using cell culture immunofluorescence.
A cell culture immunofluorescence (CCIF) assay was optimized for detection of porcine pararotavirus (group C rotavirus) in intestinal contents. The greatest viral infectivity was observed when MA104 cells (5 days after subculturing) were rinsed and refed in serum-free medium before inoculation, pancreatin was added to the inocula, and the inocula were centri

24. Characterization of Group C Rotaviruses Associated with Diarrhea Outbreaks in Feeder Pigs
Feces and serum specimens were collected from three farms in Michigan on which ∼50-lb (8- to 9-week-old) pigs experienced diarrhea just after placement into all-in-all-out finishing barns. The clinical signs (profuse watery diarrhea lasting about 2 weeks and no vomiting) were similar on all farms, and the morbidity rate was high (ranging from 60 to 80%) bu
