dc.description.abstract | Levels of haptoglobin and Pig-major acute phase protein (MAP) were analysed in animals from a commercial herd receiving or
not a diet enriched with an additive. The group receiving the additive exhibited a decrease in haptoglobin after 3 weeks,
suggesting that a better health status has been established, together with an improvement in total body weight and average
daily gain. In contrast, Pig-MAP does not significantly change under these conditions. Aujeszky live modified vaccination, which
is compulsory in Spain, did cause a significant increment in haptoglobin serum concentration although it did not affect Pig-MAP.
The response of acute phase proteins to vaccination was similar in both control and additive-treated groups. Interleukins (IL)-1b
and IL-6 was below the detection limits in most of the animals. In conclusion, this study shows that haptoglobin serum
concentration, but not Pig-MAP, is a good biomarker to monitorize production parameters and for monitoring Aujeszky modified
live vaccine in pigs reared under standard commercial conditions. | ca |
