International Conference on the Epidemiology and Control of Biological, Chemical and Physical Hazards in Pigs and Pork
Iowa State University Conferences and Symposia

The SafePork conference series began in 1996 to bring together international researchers, industry, and government agencies to discuss current Salmonella research and identify research needs pertaining to both pig and pork production. In subsequent years topics of research presented at these conferences expanded to include other chemical and biological hazards to pig and pork production.

Abstract

Antibiotic treatment of piglets post-weaning may lead to re-occurring diarrhoea after stopping the antibiotic treatment. The objective of the study was to test the efficacy of a commercial drinking water supplement containing organic acids and medium chain fatty acids (Selko-4-Health) on Diarrhoea control in piglets weaned at 26 days of age.
