Effects of porcine epidemic diarrhoea virus vaccination timing and route of administration on colostrum antibody levels and prevention of diarrhoea in piglets on a pig farm with porcine epidemic diarrhoea

Key Points

• Antibody levels in colostrum are influenced significantly by both the timing and route of porcine epidemic diarrhoea vaccination.
• Findings showed enhanced colostrum antibody levels in piglets vaccinated early compared to later times.
• Assessment using various vaccination routes observed differing outcomes on diarrhoea prevention among piglets.
• Optimizing vaccination protocols is crucial for improving health outcomes and reducing diarrhoea in affected farms.
