Regular monitoring, good hygiene practices, and adherence to recommended biosecurity protocols can help minimize the spread of pathogens and protect both animal and human health on dairy farms.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column el_id=&#8221;pig&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;70px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;vc_default&#8221; full_width=&#8221;stretch_row_content&#8221; gap=&#8221;15&#8243;][vc_column css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1694099394454{padding-top: 30px !important;}&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;45220&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;right&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;right-to-left&#8221; el_class=&#8221;img-bulle-right hidden-xs hidden-sm&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1707916154467{margin-top: -50px !important;}&#8221;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243; offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-2 vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=&#8221;col-full-wt-img&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-7 vc_col-md-8 vc_col-xs-12&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1709743209622{padding-left: 30px !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #0060ac;\">Key pathogens that can be transmitted through water on PIG FARMS<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On pig farms, various pathogens can be found in water sources, which can lead to several diseases in pigs and, in some cases, pose a risk to human health. Here are some of the key pathogens and the associated diseases:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus (PEDV):<\/span><\/strong> PEDV is a viral pathogen that can contaminate water on pig farms. It causes porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED), characterized by severe diarrhea, vomiting, dehydration, and high mortality rates in piglets.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV):<\/span><\/strong> PRRSV is a viral pathogen commonly found on pig farms. It can be present in water contaminated with pig urine or saliva. PRRSV causes porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS), which results in reproductive issues, respiratory problems, reduced growth, and increased mortality rates in pigs.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Brachyspira hyodysenteriae:<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0This bacterium is responsible for causing swine dysentery, a highly contagious and economically significant disease in pigs.

Contamination can occur through pig feces. In pigs, Salmonella infection can cause enteric disease with symptoms like diarrhea, fever, and dehydration. Some Salmonella strains can also pose a risk to human health if contaminated pork products are consumed.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Escherichia coli (E. coli):<\/strong><\/span> E. coli is a diverse bacterium that can be present in water on pig farms. Some strains, such as enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) and enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC), can cause diarrhea and colibacillosis in piglets. Certain pathogenic E. coli strains, like E. coli O157:H7, can also pose a risk to humans if contaminated pork products are consumed.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Streptococcus suis:<\/strong><\/span> Streptococcus suis is a bacterial pathogen commonly associated with pig farms. It can contaminate water and lead to infections in pigs, causing diseases such as meningitis, pneumonia, arthritis, and septicemia.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Leptospira spp.:<\/strong><\/span> Leptospira bacteria can contaminate water sources on pig farms. In pigs, infection with Leptospira can lead to leptospirosis, characterized by fever, reproductive problems, kidney damage, and potentially death.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>African Swine Fever:<\/strong><\/span> besides primary routes of transmission, ASF is proven that can be transmitted through feed and liquids. Recent studies indicate that transmission of ASFV through drinking water is much more efficient than through feed (Niederwerder et al. 2019). In another study was proven that ASF virus can survive in water at room temperature more than 50 days. (Sindryakova et al. 2016)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Proper water management, biosecurity practices, and sanitation protocols are essential on pig farms to minimize the risk of pathogen contamination. Regular monitoring, vaccination programs, and adherence to good hygiene practices can help control the spread of pathogens and reduce the impact of diseases on pig health and farm productivity.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column el_id=&#8221;poultry&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;70px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;vc_default&#8221; full_width=&#8221;stretch_row_content&#8221; gap=&#8221;15&#8243;][vc_column css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1694099394454{padding-top: 30px !important;}&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;45766&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;right&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;left-to-right&#8221; el_class=&#8221;img-bulle-left hidden-xs hidden-sm&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1708974096671{margin-top: -50px !important;}&#8221;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/12&#8243; offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-3 vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=&#8221;col-full-wt-img&#8221; width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243; offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-7 vc_col-md-7 vc_col-xs-12&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1709021192990{padding-left: 30px !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #0060ac;\">Key pathogens that can be transmitted through water on POULTRY FARMS<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>On poultry farms, several key pathogens can be found in water sources that can lead to various diseases.
