Preparation and Application on the Inactivated Bacterins of Yellow and White Scour of Piglets

Pathogenic Escherichia coli strains were isolated from yellow and white scour samples in pig farms. The strains were used to make autologous inactivated bacterins,and the bacterins were applied to multiple infected farms. The results showed that in the group of inactivated bacterins,the infected piglet number was less,the course of disease was shorter and the symptoms was milder. The piglet E. coli inactivated bacterins could significantly reduced morbidity of yellow and white scour of piglets,the preventive effects of E. coli autologous inactivated bacterins against yellow and white scour of piglets were much better than that of genetically engineered vaccines.
