Application of liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry to measure urinary Cortisol in loose housed sows
(2016)Cortisol is the most common physiological parameter used to measure welfare in pigs. In field studies evaluating stress in individual pigs which are group housed, the collection of spontaneously voided urine is practical. ... -
Detection of Antibodies Against Toxoplasma gondii in Filter Paper-Dried Blood Dot Spots Compared with Serum in Pigs and Assessment of Variation Associated with Packed Cell Volume
(2022)The aim of this study was to assess the agreement between anti-Toxoplasma gondii IgG antibody detection in serum and filter paper (FP) blood spots using the indirect immunofluorescence antibody assay (IFA) and to evaluate ... -
Effects of dietary fibre on metabolism and performance in sows
(2021)The etiology of Postpartum dysgalactia syndrome (PDS) includes stress οn preparturition and constipation associated with low water intake or low fiber intake. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a raw ... -
First case of Serratia liquefaciens isolated from urinary tract infection in sows and associated clinicopathological and pathological findings
(2020)An incident of sudden deaths in the breeding stock was reported from a farrow-to-finish commercial pig farm in Greece. The 8·4% of sows during lactation and gestation period presented anorexia, fever, haematuria, ... -
Lack of association between claw lesions or claw overgrowth and inflammation of the urinary bladder of culled sows from Greek herds
(2022)Factors associated with decreased frequency of micturition appeared to predispose sows to urinary tract infections (UTI) which are characterized by cystitis, ureteritis and pyelonephritis. We aimed to investigate the ... -
A New Sampling Approach for the Detection of Swine Influenza a Virus on European Sow Farms
(2022)Swine influenza A virus (swIAV), which plays a major role in the porcine respiratory disease complex (PRDC), is eliminated from the respiratory tract within 7–9 days after infection. Therefore, diagnosis is complicated in ... -

(2022)The objective of the present study was to identify factors associated with the probability of being polymerase chain reaction (PCR) positive and the level of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), ... -
Untargeted Metabolomics Pilot Study Using UHPLC-qTOF MS Profile in Sows’ Urine Reveals Metabolites of Bladder Inflammation
(2022)Urinary tract infections (UTI) of sows (characterized by ascending infections of the urinary bladder (cyst), ureters, and renal pelvis), are major health issues with a significant economic impact to the swine industry. The ... -
Urinary tract infections in culled sows from Greek herds: prevalence and associations between findings of histopathology, bacteriology and urinalysis
(2021)Background: Urinary tract infections (UTI) of sows characterized by cystitis, which may progress to ureteritis and pyelonephritis, can affect their productivity, longevity and welfare. In this study, we determined the ...
