The effect of some unspecific stimuli on defence mechanisms in weaned pigs.
The studies were performed to find out whether a prophylactic use of unspecific stimuli affects appreciably the selected biologic indices in weaned pigs. The variables used in the experiment were found to exert a favourable effect on the state of health and growth of pigs but they had no essential influence on the level of immunoglobulins and increase in the titre of antibodies against E. coli (0141, 0149), isolated from pigs kept in the same pigsty.
