Presence of toxin-producing bacterial pathogens and associated risk factors in neonatal diarrhea of piglets on commercial sow farms in Vietnam.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Neonatal piglet diarrhea (NPD) remains a significant challenge in the swine industry, contributing to elevated pre-weaning mortality, reduced productivity, and increased economic losses. In Vietnam, despite the growing importance of commercial pig production, comprehensive studies investigating the epidemiology of NPD and associated bacterial pathogens are lacking. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 40 commercial sow farms across North, Central, and South Vietnam between August and December 2023. Structured questionnaires captured data on farm characteristics, management practices, and health interventions. Fecal samples from symptomatic piglets aged 1-14 days were pooled and analyzed using multiplex quantitative polymerase chain reaction to detect virulence genes of Results: All farms tested positive for at least one pathogen. Conclusion: This study presents the first national-scale assessment of bacterial pathogens in NPD across Vietnamese sow farms. The findings highlight the high burden of toxin-producing bacteria, frequent co-infections, and multiple farm-level risk factors. Interventions such as targeted vaccination, optimized antibiotic use, improved weaning practices, and enhanced regional surveillance are essential for mitigating NPD impacts and improving piglet health outcomes in Vietnam.
