According to the results, it is concluded that immunization of sows with Diff/A reduces the incidence of diarrhoea and productive losses caused by C. difficile and C. perfringens Type A. Moreover, it also reduces the proportion of animals treated with antibiotics.

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the passive protection of neonatal piglets by means of the vaccination of sows with a new vaccine (Diff/A), assessing the incidence of diarrhoea and antibiotic treatments applied under field conditions.
