SWINE DISEASES

Economic Effects:
⚫ Feed Conversion – can drop to 6 to 10.
⚫ ADG – 10-20 % reduction
⚫ Secondary Infections – gastro-esophageal
ulcers, rectal prolapses and even enteric
diseases
⚫ Carcass quality – lightweight and lungs in
the ribs
⚫ Labor – increased in labor
⚫ Buiding design – high wall
⚫ Preventive measures – decrease appetite
⚫ Aesthetics – poor appearance
⚫ Ability to use new technologies – leaner
pigs are susceptible to diseases
 ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS
CONTRIBUTING TO PNEUMONIA
⚫ FARM TYPE/DEGREE OF INTEGRATION –
PRODUCE YOUR OWN LESS PNEUMONIA
⚫ MOVEMENT OF PIGS – ALL IN ALL OUT
⚫ MIXING OF PIGS – UNDERSIZED PIGS
⚫ FARM SIZE- INCREASE FARM SIZE
;INCREASE SUSCEPTIBILITY
⚫ NUMBER OF ANIMALS PER BUILDING -
150-200 FINISHING PIGS PER HOUSE
⚫ FLOOR SPACE PER PIG – FACILITATE
SPREAD OF PATHOGEN
⚫ VENTILATION – NO DRAFTY
CONDITION
⚫ TEMPERATURE - < LOWER CRITICAL
TEMPERATURE
⚫ AMMONIA – 100TO 150 PPM FOR 5
WEEKS DEVELOP EXCESSIVE NASAL,
LACHRYMAL AND ORAL
SECRETIONS
⚫ WASTE DISPOSAL –
LIQUID MANURE
HANDLING AND
SLATTED FLOORS ARE
ASSOCIATED WITH
HIGHER LEVELS OF
PNEUMONIA
⚫ PARASITES– ASCARIS ENHANCE THE
LESIONS OF PNEUMONIA. MANGE
INFESTATION IS ALSO RELATED TO
PNEUMONIA AND SCOURING

⚫ Dyspnea
⚫ Bloody froth from the

⚫ Pleuritis-cheesy

⚫ Dog sitting position
Recommended Drugs for APP

Norfloxacin

PLEUROGUARD
CONTROL STRATEGIES

⚫ Pigs should be
injected twice a day as
Norfloxacin long as they are sick.
⚫ Feed additive are of
little value if animals
are severely depressed
⚫ Current vaccines can
reduce mortality
Mycoplasma Hyopneumonae
CLINICAL SIGNS
⚫ Short dry cough
⚫ Low mortality rate
⚫ Can result to APP or
Pasteurellosis
⚫ No specific symptoms
⚫ Evident at 2-3 weeks
after weaning
 TREATMENT
⚫ BROAD SPECTRUM ANTIBIOTIC IS
NEEDED AS MYCOPLASMA CAN
COMPLICATE INTO APP,
PASTEURELLA AND BORDETELLA
⚫ USE OF VACCINES REDUCES LUNG
LESIONS BUT NO REDUCTION IN
MYCOPLASMA.
⚫ USE OF DRUGS SHOULD BE
COUPLED
WITH HYGIENIC ENVIRONMENT
