NUTRITION-SWINE Swine Internal Parasites: Effect of Anthelmintic and Management System
نویسندگان
چکیده
Story in Brief A total of 96 growing-finishing swine were used to study the effect of an anthelmintic treatment regime and management system on pig performance, liver lesions and intestinal worm burdens. Anthelmintics had no significant effect on rate of gain in pigs fed in confinement or in pasture lots. Feed efficiency was significantly (P<.OI) improved by anthelminics only during the grower phase of pigs fed in pasture lots. Anthelmintics were effective in reducing the number of internal parasites in both confinement and pasture management systems. The type of parasites involved as well as the type of management system used may determine the most economical internal parasite control system for each swine producer.

متن کاملModified technique for collecting and processing fecal material for diagnosing intestinal parasites in swine
Intestinal parasites of swine are still present under conditions of modern swine management and can have a significant impact on growth rate and feed efficiency. Diagnosis of intestinal parasites can be accomplished by demonstrating adult parasites in feces or at necropsy, and by demonstrating eggs in feces. This article details a protocol for sampling fecal material to diagnose intestinal para...

Infection of pigs with the intestinal roundworm parasite Ascaris suum and strategic application of anthelmintic drugs during the growing phase of development were observed for specific effects on 1) development of immunity in feeder pigs and 2) growth rate during the finishing phase. Management treatments included maintenance in a parasite-free concrete environment, maintenance in a concrete en...
