How Epigenetics Can Enhance Pig Welfare?

Arthur Nery da Silva et al.

Summary: In the pig industry, there is a growing concern about animal welfare, which has led to the exploration of technologies such as epigenetic biomarkers to predict animal welfare on farms. This review discusses the studies conducted in this area, highlights the benefits of investing in research to enhance animal welfare and consumers' trust, and suggests the potential use of epi-biomarkers for animal welfare certification.

Vaginal Microbiota Diversity in Response to Lipopolysaccharide in Gilts Housed Under Three Housing Systems

Luana Alves et al.

Summary: The study investigates the effects of housing systems and inflammatory challenge on the vaginal microbiota of gilts using vaginal flushing. Results show that different housing systems and challenges can lead to differences in the vaginal microbiota. The relationship between environment, immune response, and microbiota suggests that animals in poor environments have difficulty responding to challenges and experience altered microbiota.

Factors affecting performance response of pigs exposed to different challenge models: a multivariate approach

Lucas A. Rodrigues et al.

Summary: The severity of growth performance compromise in pigs by different challenge models varies significantly, with bacterial lipopolysaccharide being identified as a suitable noninfectious model for immune stimulation and growth impairment. The impact is also influenced by factors such as clustering of studies, sex differences, and the type of challenge model used.

The in-utero experience of piglets born from sows with lameness shapes their life trajectory

Marisol Parada Sarmiento et al.

Summary: The study found that lameness in pregnant sows can impact the weight gain, number of skin lesions, and vocalizations of the offspring, providing evidence that the maternal health status during pregnancy plays a crucial role in the behavioral and physiological development of the offspring.
