- Abstract
The article examines if pigs in Porcine circovirus disease (PCVD)-affected herd had shed more Porcine circovirus-2 in their feces than pigs in a PCVD-nonaffected herd. It states the highest median PCV-2 shedding that was found in the nursery of both PCVD-affected herd and PCVD-nonaffected herd. It suggests the association between the presence of PCV-2 in the feces of lactating sows and increased PCV-2 shedding in younger pigs.
