Figure 1From: Dynamics of serum antibodies to and load of porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) in pigs in three finishing herds, affected or not by postweaning multisystemic wasting syndromeThe supply of growers to herd A. A change of pig supplier was initiated because Herd Z could supply herd A with all finishing pigs. During this process the empty time between batches was decreased giving little or no time for hygienic measures. Herd A was diagnosed with PMWS in February 2007, while finishing pigs in herd B remained free from PMWS. Herd B and herd Z were neighbours and received pregnant sows from the same sow pool. The distance to herd A was 115 km for both herds. (FU = farrowing units, FiU = finishing units).Back to article page
