    Deoxynivalenol (DON), also known as vomitoxin, is a mycotoxin commonly found in wheat, corn, and other cereal grains. During wet, cool periods of the growing season, Fusarium graminearum forms a head blight, producing DON as a secondary metabo­lite, write S.Q. Fowler, H.L. Frobose, M.D. Tokach, J.M. DeRouchey, S.S.

    Potassium diformate, a double-salt of formic acid, has been shown in numerous trials to improve health and performance in piglets, growing-finishing pigs and sows. Thus, potassium diformate (KDF) has been approved in the European Union as the first non-antibiotic growth promoter for use in swine, writes Christian Lückstädt , ADDCON.

    Many articles are written about the stressful period piglets experience right after weaning, though too often on-farm discussions focus on issues such as diarrhea or oedema that occur anywhere from 1 week to 1 month post-weaning. Antibiotics and/or high levels of zinc oxide are often applied in these cases. However, public concern and stricter rules regarding the former have propelled efforts to curtail antibiotic use in farm animals worldwide.

    PRRS is one of the most significant pig diseases in the modern swine industry. The addition of a killed vaccine (KV) vaccination at D90 of gestation in farm where sows are regularly vaccinated with a modified live vaccine (MLV) have been shown to contribute to the stabilization of the sows, leading to a better control of PRRS virus circulation in the pig flows, writes Luk Willems, DVM, Clinique Vétérinaire de L’Elorn, France.
