Simultaneous vaccination of piglets against foot-and-mouth disease and classical swine fever.

Effect of Resveratrol Dry Suspension on Immune Function of Piglets

Resveratrol, a polyphenolic plant antitoxin, has a wide range of pharmacological activities. In this study, we systematically evaluated the effects of resveratrol dry suspension (RDS) on immune function in piglets that were treated with different doses of RDS for 2 weeks. The results showed that the RDS has significant effects on the development, maturation, proliferation, and transformation of...
