Innovative vaccines to prevent post-weaning diarrhoea in pigs

The project aims to develop vaccines against PWD, and to investigate the optimal way to use these to reduce the problem of PWD, also in the absence of preventive use of zinc oxide. The vaccines will be directed towards the major PWD pathogens in Denmark, but of importance for the business potential, they can easily be complemented with antigens from pathogens of relevance outside the country. The project aims to develop prototypes which will be tested under field condition (TRL7). The novel vaccines are expected to be ready for the market by 2024.
