When should the faecal sample be taken?

0

Feacal samples should be taken in the second or third week of life. The probability of finding the pathogen in the sample does not necessarily increase by selecting piglets with diarrhoea; diarrhoea can develop before oocysts are excreted in the faeces, and even firm faeces often contain large numbers of oocysts.
