 | New World Beating Boar Goes to War on Feed Costs - 05/08/2008
A new boar bred by UK's pig genetics company JSR Genetics, is consistently achieving a record breaking reduction in feed conversion rates (FCR) - 13.4 per cent less than the UK average - and the lowest achieved by any pig, anywhere in the world... |

SUBCLINICAL
GENERAL SYMPTOMS
- Very difficult to see symptoms
therefore little or no awareness
- ONLY AFFECTS THE IMMUNOLOGIC
SYSTEM
- Many diseases incorrectly diagnosed
as the primary problem due to low levels of mycotoxins, which cause immunosupression.
- Vaccines do not work as the should,
low titers
- If live vaccine is used there
are many problems
- Antibiotics as therapeutics do
not perform even if used at a higher dosage or for longer periods
- Breeders and sows can not pass
antibodies to offspring
- Respiratory diseases of unknown
origin
- Diseases of unknown origin and
/ or difficult to diagnose
- 5 ppb of Aflatoxin B1 in feed
= 50 ppt of Aflatoxin M1 in Milk Somatic cell count in milk
- Pigmentation of egg yolk and
skin is affected by hypocarotenoidaemia caused by mycotoxins
