T he castration of male suckling piglets is still an important issue in livestock farming. All over the world castration is commonly practiced primarily ensuring constant meat quality 1 and reducing the risk of boar taint, 2 but also minimizing
piglets. Su = Suckling piglets. Piglets were categorized into 3 growth stages for the period from birth (day 0) to day 70: suckling piglets, postweaning piglets, and growing piglets ( Figure 1 ). Ages of piglets in the various stages differed among

-to-weaning is a typical swine farm structure, which allows breeding pigs to be segregated from weaned pigs; therefore, the study reported here considered only sows and suckling piglets. The purpose of the study reported here was to use stochastic modeling to
farrowing farms. However, this had little impact on growing pig sites because the typical time from breeding to movement to growing pig sites is 5 months. Newborn and suckling piglets were sold or euthanized. Although this decreased the number of pigs that
intimin of STEC O157:H7 has some promise. Vaccination with a preparation containing this antigen reduced colonization and intestinal lesions in suckling piglets of a vaccinated sow, 79 and a vaccine containing type III secreted proteins of STEC O157:H7
valuable for the laboratory diagnosis, was not performed because no samples from the sow were submitted. Isoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura is an immune-mediated disease that has been described in suckling piglets for about 50 years. 1 The disease is
