Figure 1From: Effect of enriched housing on levels of natural (auto-)antibodies in pigs co-infected with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) and Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae Means and SEM of antibody isotype titers. IgM (A) and IgG (B) binding KLH, IgM (C) and IgG (D) binding MBP, and IgM (E) and IgG (F) binding PC-BSA of pigs (n = 56) in barren and enriched housing conditions measured on 7 different days. At 39 days of age, pigs were transported to the experimental rooms (T); at 44 days of age, BI and EI pigs were infected with PRRSV (P); at 52 days of age, BI and EI pigs were infected with A. pleuropneumoniae (A). H indicates the housing effect; I indicates the infection effect; D indicates the sampling day effect. ***P < 0.001, **P < 0.01, *P < 0.05, # P < 0.10.Back to article page
