Seroprevalence against selected pathogens involved in porcine respiratory disease complex in free-range fattening pigs in Spain

To date, the knowledge about the epidemiological situation of these diseases in pigs reared in free-range systems is very limited; despite this situation, they are related to important economic losses in the intensive pig industry ( López-Soria and others 2010 ). [...]the objective of this study wa...

Description
Summary:To date, the knowledge about the epidemiological situation of these diseases in pigs reared in free-range systems is very limited; despite this situation, they are related to important economic losses in the intensive pig industry ( López-Soria and others 2010 ). [...]the objective of this study was to investigate the exposure of fattening pigs reared in free-range systems to the selected pathogens, as well as providing information on co-seropositivity against the studied primary pathogens involved in the porcine respiratory disease complex (PRDC) ( Opriessnig and others 2011 ).
