(MDPI, 2019-10-10)
In this retrospective study, we describe the relative occurrence of clinical myxomatosis, and rabbit haemorrhagic disease (RHD), on 1714 commercial farms visited in Spain, between 1988 and 2018. We ...
Sow Contact Is a Major Driver in the Development of the Nasal Microbiota of Piglets
(MDPI, 2021-06-03)
The nasal microbiota composition is associated with the health status of piglets. Sow-contact in early life is one of the factors influencing the microbial composition in piglets; however, its impact ...
