[Practical experience in the use of adjuvants in the prevention of edema/post-weaning diarrhea in piglets].
Intraperitoneal injections of a commercial adjuvant were made in 1,214 piglets on a pig-breeding farm five days prior to weaning to prevent post-weaning diarrhoea and oedema disease. The incidence of these forms of disease after weaning was identical in the treated group as well as in untreated controls which were kept in similar conditions at the same time. Mortality showed an increase in the treated animals. There is evidence to suggest that the physical condition of the weaned piglets may decline as a result of treatment with an adjuvant.
