Vaccination to control Salmonella shedding and improve growth in pigs
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A clinical field trial was performed to determine the effectiveness of an autogenous Salmonella Typhimurium bacterin compared to a commercial live S. choleraesuis vaccine in pigs. The association between Salmonella shedding and weight gain was also investigated. Nine cohorts of weaned pigs were randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups (injection with S. Typhimurium bacteria, vaccination via water with S. Choleraesuis vaccine, or a control group receiving no vaccine). In each cohort, the average daily gain was calculated for a selected pen throughout the production stage. Fecal samples were collected bi-weekly and cultured. The pigs vaccinated for S. Choleraesuis were more likely to shed Salmonella compared to pigs vaccinated with S. Typhimurium bacterin and the chance of Salmonella shedding in the both vaccinated groups was higher than in the control group. The pigs from pens with a higher Salmonella recovery rate experienced slower growth compared to pigs from pens where Salmonella was not isolated. This latter finding indicates that there might be an economic incentive for producers to try to control endemic salmonellosis if effective programs could be developed.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
