“…Encouraging results of oral administration of a bread-based lyophilized C-strain of CSFV in backyard pig farming have also been reported [ 54 ]. Drinking water vaccines are also increasingly employed in the porcine industry [ 179 ]. Low and moderate intranasal and intramuscular vaccine administration can protect the porcine industry against specific viral genomes like ASFV [ 180 ].…”

Pig farming has become a strategically significant and economically important industry across the globe. It is also a potentially vulnerable sector due to challenges posed by transboundary diseases in which viral infections are at the forefront. Among the porcine viral diseases, African swine fever, classical swine fever, foot and mouth disease, porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome, pseudorabies, swine influenza, and transmissible gastroenteritis are some of the diseases that cause substantial economic losses in the pig industry. It is a well-established fact that vaccination is undoubtedly the most effective strategy to control viral infections in animals. From the period of Jenner and Pasteur to the recent new-generation technology era, the development of vaccines has contributed significantly to reducing the burden of viral infections on animals and humans. Inactivated and modified live viral vaccines provide partial protection against key pathogens. However, there is a need to improve these vaccines to address emerging infections more comprehensively and ensure their safety. The recent reports on new-generation vaccines against swine viruses like DNA, viral-vector-based replicon, chimeric, peptide, plant-made, virus-like particle, and nanoparticle-based vaccines are very encouraging. The current review gathers comprehensive information on the available vaccines and the future perspectives on porcine viral vaccines.

“…However, undesirable effects of adjuvants are an inflammation at the injection site. This effect is noticeable in farm animals such as poultry, resulting in reduction of meat quality and escalating condemnation of carcasses [125,126]. The price of vaccines is also considerably increased by adjuvants [127].…”

“…Fossil shell flour has successfully met this need. Singh and O’Hagan [125] in their experiment using fossil shell flour as an adjuvants vaccine for Newcastle Disease Virus (NDV) for poultry, suggested that fossil shell flour could function as a prospective immunological agent for vaccines against poultry diseases. They established that using fossil shell flour as a vaccine adjuvant, causes no harmful effects to hatchability, quality of chicks, body weight, and meat quality.…”

Fossil shell flour (FSF), also known as Diatomaceous earth, or diatomite, consists of amorphous silicates with important physical and chemical characteristics, including porosity and permeability, low density and thermal conductivity, tiny particle size, high surface area, solubility, hydrophobia, and absorption capabilities, which are molecular filter actors, substituting their integral cations without physical changes. The substance is nontoxic, cheap, and readily available in large quantity in many countries. Recently, FSF has been modified as additives for several uses. Recent studies have supported its use as animal growth promoter, vaccine adjuvant in livestock, water purifier, mycotoxin binder, inert dust applications in stored-pest management, pesticide, animal feed additive, as a natural source of silicon in livestock and as natural anthelmintic. Numerous advantages of FSF include its low-cost and availability, its nontoxic characteristics, and the fact that food grade diatomaceous earth is safe for human consumption. In this paper, we review the main uses of FSF in the livestock industry, with reference to similar works earlier published that elucidate their important roles.

“…However, the successful implementation of vaccination programmes relies not only on the availability of vaccines but also on the understanding, perspectives and behaviours of livestock farmers towards their use (Duamor et al., 2021). Understanding the level of knowledge, attitudes and practices among livestock farmers is crucial for designing and implementing effective vaccination strategies that can maximize the benefits of vaccines and ensure their sustainable utilization (Girma et al., 2022; Kansiime et al., 2015; Schat, 2014).…”

BackgroundThe utilization of veterinary vaccines plays a vital role in preventing and managing animal diseases. However, the success of vaccination programmes relies on livestock farmers’ understanding, perspectives and behaviours regarding their application. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes and practices of livestock farmers in Southwest Ethiopia regarding the use of veterinary vaccines.MethodsThe study followed a cross‐sectional design conducted between October 2021 and October 2022. A sample of 476 livestock‐owning farmers, including those who raise dairy cattle, beef cattle and poultry, were interviewed from the districts of Shei Bench, Semen Bench, Sheko and Yeki.ResultsThe findings revealed that participants from Sheko, who had a poultry farm, were college graduates and resided in an urban area, were more likely to have good knowledge of veterinary vaccines. Similarly, participants who were male, from Semen Bench, had a poultry farm and had a high school education, exhibited a positive attitude towards veterinary vaccines. Furthermore, being male, from Semen Bench, having a poultry farm, and having a high school education were associated with increased veterinary vaccine use.ConclusionThis study highlights the importance of addressing gender differences and tailoring interventions based on geography and farming conditions in the area. These measures are crucial to improve practices related to veterinary vaccines for enhanced animal health and productivity. Prioritizing education, veterinary services and information dissemination is vital. However, further research and targeted interventions are needed to better comprehend underlying factors and implement effective strategies for diverse communities in different areas.
