title: [Comparison of antibody titers against Aujeszky's disease virus in pig blood collected on the farm and in the slaughterhouse].
abstract: Antibody titres against Aujeszky's disease virus (ADV) in the plasma of slaughter pigs were compared with respect to the site of sampling, namely on the farm (one day before delivery to the slaughterhouse) and in the slaughterhouse during slaughter. No significant differences were noted in the antibody titres against ADV with respect to the different sampling sites. Blood samples collected at the slaughterhouse can be used for monitoring and surveillance systems within the framework of organised pig health care.
