This study shows differing diarrhea-preventive effects of the two vaccines evaluated. SUISENG® vaccine exhibited a 6-fold lower incidence of diarrhea in suckling piglets from gilts vaccinated with it than in suckling piglets from gilts vaccinated with its competitor, Vaccine B. SUISENG® vaccine also showed greater safety than Vaccine B by causing a smaller increase in post-vaccination body temperature and by not showing any local or general type reactions, which may end in abortion.

The aim of this study was to assess and compare the safety and efficacy performance of two commercial vaccines registered in Canada, under field conditions, on a commercial farm where E. coli was found to be the source of diarrhea.
