The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of SUISENG®, (a commercial vaccine containing fimbriae and toxoids against Escherichia coli, Clostridium perfringens type C and Clostridium novyi) on the sow mortality rate after implementing a rolling vaccine program on a commercial farm in 2017.

The decrease in mortality after implementing SUISENG® vaccination was significant. Therefore, the connection between decrease in mortality and the use of vaccine indicates that immunization against Clostridium novyi could be responsible for a significant reduction in the percentage of sow mortality cases. The ultimate objective of this reduction is to maximize productivity whilst maintaining a regular production schedule.
