  • Using zinc oxide (ZnO) and antimicrobials, Fecal Clinical Score (FCS) can be kept under control and little abnormal fecal consistency is apparent during the post-weaning period

  • Several novel strategies towards Post-Weaning Diarrhea (PWD) due to Enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) have been applied or will be introduced in the field in the near future. Many of these strategies impact the reduction in the number of pathogenic bacteria that may induce or impact PWD due to ETEC
