- Production flow
- The movement and grouping of pigs through reproductive and growth stages, relevant to exposure patterns and herd investigation.
- All-in/all-out
- A management approach separating defined groups through a unit, whose effect depends on actual animal and environmental separation.
- Syndrome
- A recognizable combination of signs that organizes a differential without necessarily establishing one unique infectious cause.
- Farrowing rate
- The proportion of a defined service cohort that farrows under the stated recording convention, requiring an appropriate matching denominator.
- Nonproductive day
- A breeding-female record category for a day outside the defined gestating or lactating states, interpreted within the actual herd system.
- Passive immunity
- Protection transferred through maternal immune components under the relevant neonatal physiology, distinguished from the offspring producing its own response.
- Feed conversion ratio
- The defined quantity of feed input divided by the corresponding liveweight gain, requiring matched groups, periods and measurement bases.
- Average daily gain
- Measured liveweight change divided by the corresponding elapsed time, not a guarantee that every animal gained uniformly each day.
- Digestible amino-acid supply
- An estimate of biologically available amino-acid input under the specified system, distinct from gross ingredient mass or an unspecified percentage.
- Morphological diagnosis
- A structured description of a lesion by features such as organ, distribution, severity, duration and type of pathological process.
- Autolysis
- Postmortem tissue degradation that can obscure diagnostic architecture or complicate distinction between actual disease and later change.
- Immunohistochemistry
- A tissue technique identifying selected antigens using antibodies, interpreted with controls, morphology and the actual test limitations.
- Sensitivity
- The proportion of animals with the defined target condition that the selected test classifies positive under its stated conditions.
- Positive predictive value
- The proportion of positive test results representing the target condition, which depends on the population as well as test properties.
- Withdrawal obligation
- The applicable restriction relating an actual medicine use to food production, determined by the relevant product and current rules.
- Pharmacokinetics
- The processes determining drug absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination in the relevant species and individual patient.
- Ventilation
- Movement of air into and out of the respiratory system, not the same function as oxygenation measured by saturation.
- Stewardship
- A responsible system of prevention, diagnostic reasoning, justified antimicrobial selection and review that aims to preserve effective treatment.
- IS ABV
- The Swiss veterinary antibiotic information system for relevant prescribing data, interpreted within its actual scope, exceptions and current reporting process.
- Exclusion investigation
- A defined early-detection diagnostic pathway that is distinct from the competent-authority response to an established concrete reportable-disease suspicion.
- Current product context
- The actual medicine authorization, species, formulation, indication and use information needed before interpreting prescribing and food-chain requirements.
