Enhanced Growth of E. Coli in Whey from Sows with Agalactia Syndrome

摘要

E. coli strains were inoculated into porcine whey samples. Replication rates and the final number of bacteria increased when grown in samples collected from sows affected by the agalactiae syndrome as compared with control samples from healthy ones. The bacteria grew especially well in samples collected on the day of farrowing.
