Abstract

The article presents the results of a study on the state of specific cellular immunity in suckling piglets at an in-dustrial pig breeding farm. In the piglets reared under the sows that had experienced postpartum diseases, cellular immunodeficiency was established at the age of 20 days, caused by insufficient activation of the functioning of the own immune system and characterized by a reduced abandance of relative and absolute lymphocytes, T-lymphocytes, theophylline-resistant and theophylline-sensitive T-cells and B-lymphocytes. The data obtained indicate a slowdown in the formation of specific cellular defense in them, which may have a negative effect on the formation of adaptive immunity during the specific prevention of infectious diseases.
