Oral medication in suckling and post-weaning periods were the most common applications of antibiotic administration in pig production. Antibiotic use is driven by age-specific diseases and the common pathogens
Fig. 3: Negative associations among externality costs across 74 UK pig production systems. Full size image UK systems with co-benefits Focusing on those systems ranked in the best-performing 50% of our sample for each cost, we can see that these broad trade-offs are not inevitable. For each...
However, the latter vaccine in full 0.5-mL dosages costs about 20 times as much per dose as OPV, promoting a search for cost-saving strategies that also avoid the introduction of needles into the polio eradication program.165 Recent clinical research in Oman sponsored by WHO and others found...
The comparison shows the production cost of 1 kg-LW pig. The production cost calculated for the growing to finish- ing pig unit was US$ 0.0451 per kg-LW, while profitability was US$ 0.0126 /kg-LW. Labour productivity was calculated at 20 s/kg-LW. Compared to the reference values ...
In order to achieve this aim, the multicriteria evaluation method TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution) was used. The production and economic indicators of the Lithuanian pig farming sector in Lithuania and in the context of the selected EU countries of ...

The modern concept of biosecurity Since the early, almost intuitive, definitions of biosecur- ity, this concept has evolved at the same pace than swine production. Nowadays, in developed countries, pig pro- duction shows a trend towards concentration: bigger farms in lesser hands together with ...
Xianchao Feng2 & Jianyong Han 1 Cultured meat production has emerged as a breakthrough technology for the global food industry with the potential to reduce challenges associated with environmental sustainability, global public health, animal welfare, and com- petition for food between humans and animal...
However, HEV pig models have the disadvantage of high breeding cost and large body size that make them difficult to handle. Chinese Bama miniature pigs were found to be susceptible to HEV genotypes 3 and 4, and they can be used as an alternative to the standard pig models for the study ...
Iberian pig has an adaptivethrifty phenotypeowing to its gene polymorphism for the leptin receptor, has a background of exposure to harsh environment and food scarcity, and a current availability of nutrients in excess (when exposed to modern animal production systems)....
