TESTIMONY OF PATRICE, MANAGER OF COLLECTIVE MATERNITY

I am happy to share in this testimonial my thoughts and to support and salute the work, the involvement, the listening and the objectivity of the team.

 It has been 7 years of partnership since the creation of our farrowing unit. They accompanied us during the population of the herd. When we were contaminated by PRRS at the beginning of 2017, they were very reactive for the diagnosis and management which allowed us to limit the economic impact, thanks to a short time to return to baseline production after the outbreak. Since then, the results have continued to improve, with the same genetic supplier. Our employees appreciate the regular follow-up and the reactivity. All the topics of the farm are monitored by Rezoolution: health, biosecurity, air flow, water quality, feeding, well-being… and the results are there: 34.6 weaned per productive sow and per year with very regular weaning weights.

As the manager of the farrowing unit, my partnership with Rezoolution brings me serenity in the follow-up of the unit and I do not regret my choice!

Vaccination and diagnosis of enzootic pneumonia

Vaccination and diagnosis of enzootic pneumonia

This study was carried out for an external R&D service for a pharmaceutical laboratory. The objective was twofold. First, for our client, this study made it possible to compare the effectiveness of two of these vaccines for the prevention of enzootic pneumonia in breeding based on clinical criteria, technical performance (ADG, mortality) and injury criteria. at the slaughterhouse. This study also made it possible to study the dynamics of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae in breeding by comparing the number of positive pigs (by PCR and by serological analysis) and the bacterial load between vaccinated pigs with unvaccinated pigs raised together.

The impact of parity on haematological parameters and the consequences on reproductive performance

The impact of parity on haematological parameters and the consequences on reproductive performance

Haematological reference intervals of sows at end gestation in ten French herds, the impact of parity on haematological parameters and the consequences on reproductive performance

Changes in haematological values occur during the reproductive cycle. In veterinary swine practice, haematological reference intervals for this period are scarce. Over past decades, there has been a remarkable increase in reproductive prolificacy, possibly making previously established haematological reference intervals for sows outdated.

The aim of this study was to provide updated haematological reference intervals for sows at endgestation, to study the influence of parity on those haematological parameters and to evaluate the impact of haemoglobin levels on production performance.

Microbiological quality of liquid feed consumed by sows VS neonatal diarrhoea (2/2)

This study is part of our internal R&D project aimed at better understanding neonatal diarrhea, to allow better management of this problem with serious consequences both for the health of piglets and for the technical and economic performance of farms. The objective of this case-control study was to assess whether the microbiological quality of the unfermented soup distributed to sows was associated with the presence of recurrent neonatal diarrhea in the herd. Our study suggests that the higher the counts of total coliforms, enterococci and yeasts in soup fed to sows, the greater the likelihood of observing neonatal diarrhea in the flock. In addition, if the two microbiological criteria, total coliforms and yeasts are simultaneously degraded, the probability of observing neonatal diarrhea is maximum. This study therefore obliges us to systematically integrate an analysis of the soups distributed to sows in our diagnosis of neonatal diarrhea.
