The efficacy of Borpetella bronchiseþtica bacterin was evaluated in the commercial
swine herds affected with the enzootic atrophic rhinitis(AR). In this study, nasal swab
cultural examination, blood serum titer to B. bronchiseþtica antigen. and body weight
of adjusted day from birth to 56 days post-partum were determined for individua1 pigs.
Bacterin inoculation reduced the positive isolaticn rate cf causative organism in 8.6
% cf the piglet in group A(vaccinated 4. times on the sow and its piglets), 29.4.% in
group B(vaccinated twice on the sow), 40.0% in group C (vaccinated twice on the piglets)
, 42.9% in group D(vaccinated once on the piglets) and 53.7% in group E of nonvaccinated
contro1s. Positive isolation rate of group A was significant1y different(p<0.05)
from the nonvaccinated control group. The average body weight at 56 days post-partum
reached a weight of 26.7 and 26.1kg of group A and C. respective1y and was significant1y
higher compared with the nonvaccinated control group. Group A. full dose of vaccine
inoculated,had an average serum-agglutinating titer ranged from 1: 160 to 1: 5120 in the
piglet at 6 weeks post-partum.
