Esophagogastric ulcer in finishing pigs from twelve large multi-site herds in southeastern Spain, 1995-2000: Descriptive epidemiology
نویسنده
چکیده
Methods: All animals (nursery to finisher) that died during 1995 to 2000 were necropsied. The database of necropsy results was analyzed for morbidity trends using classical time series analyses. Total mortality and mortality due to chronic wasting and pneumonia were included because of their possible relationships with gastric ulcers. Age at death in 1998, 1999, and 2000 was analyzed for trends.

Dynamics of serum antibodies to and load of porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) in pigs in three finishing herds, affected or not by postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome
BACKGROUND Despite that PMWS commonly affects pigs aged eight to sixteen weeks; most studies of PMWS have been conducted during the period before transfer to finishing herds. This study focused on PCV2 load and antibody dynamics in finishing herds with different PMWS status. METHODS Sequentially collected blood samples from 40 pigs in each of two Swedish (A and B) and one Norwegian (C) finish...

The study objective was to evaluate three methods of Salmonella enterica prevalence estimation in swine herds (faecal culture, culture of abattoir-collected samples, and serum ELISA). From each of six swine herds, we necropsied approximately 100 finishing pigs (> 70 kg); one-half on farm and the other half at the abattoir, after transport and approximately 2.5 h holding. We collected the same s...

The objectives of this study were to 1) screen all sow herds in a region for M. hyopneumoniae, 2) to effectuate an eradication programme in all those herds which were shown to be infected with M. hyopneumoniae, and 3) to follow the success of the screening and the eradication programmes. The ultimate goal was to eradicate M. hyopneumoniae from all member herds of a cooperative slaughterhouse (1...

This cross-sectional epidemiologic study was conducted in 150 randomly selected farrow-to-finish pig herds to investigate descriptive epidemiological characteristics of infections with three different serovars of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, and to identify risk factors for the within-herd seroprevalences of these serovars. Different farm characteristics (n = 28) were examined as potential ...
