BANFF PORK SEMINAR



Gauvreau, H.; DeGroot, M.; Boix, O; Ballarà, I.

This field trial assessed the reduction of sudden death on a Canadian Farm after a vaccination program using SUISENG®.

The disease is peracute, with very little clinical signs before death. SUISENG® is a sow vaccine that protects against neonatal diarrhea in piglets and suddent death caused by C. novyi in sows.

CONCLUSIONS AND DISCUSSION

Sow mortality is a growing concern on pig farms- There are multiple causes behind it, including sudden sow death due to Clostridium novyi.

 

It is remarkable to highlight the importance of having a good diagnosis of the implementation of a vaccination program againts C. novyi as a primary measure to reduce the incidence of suddent death.



This farm trial showed that SUISENG® vaccination could reduce sow mortality on farm.
