Material Detail

Infectious diseases are a challenge in each of the swine production stages. They vary from sow reproductive disorders to enteric diseases in piglets to respiratory issues in finishing pigs. The 3-site production schema successfully limits the spread of diseases from the sow to her offspring. On the other end, it increases pig movement across the country. Approximately 1 million pigs are on the road every single day in the US, facilitating the spread of pathogens across state lines.

In this e-book, swine diseases have been organized in various chapters:

• Major multisystemic diseases: PRRS and PCVAD,
• Respiratory diseases,
• Enteric diseases in the pre-weaning pig,
• Enteric diseases in the weaned pig,
• Systemic diseases,
• Reproductive diseases,
• Skin diseases,
• Transboundary diseases
