: Farms A-D were consulted for a risk assessment for the presence of specific risk factors related to S. suis infections, including colostrum management practices at the request of the farmer and/or the herds veterinarian. Sampling around birth on farms A-D was performed for diagnostic purposes to evaluate colostrum management practices as a potential risk factor for S. suis-related problems on these farms, and ethics approval was not applicable. Oral consent was obtained from the farmers for the samples collected at their farms. Animal handling, including blood sample collection, was performed by approved veterinarians. The kinetic study on farm B was conducted in accordance with the Dutch animal experimental and ethical requirements, and the project was approved by the Dutch Central Authority for Scientific Procedures on Animals (CCD) (Permit number: AVD4010020198504).
