Hog cholera
- Also known as
Swine Fever
- Caused by
Pestivirus

High Fever, loss of appetite, droopy head, grayish diarrhea,
purplish discoloration of the abdomen, snout, medial sides, legs
and ears
Prevention & Treatment: Vaccination

Mycoplasma
Coughing, deep-labored
breathing, nasal
discharge.
High morbidity, low
Mortality.
Prevention & Treatment: Baytril; Tylosin, Denagard
Mycoplasma Vaccines
Parvo
Porcine parvovirus (PPV) causes reproductive failure of swine characterized by

embryonic and fetal infection and death, usually in the absence of outward maternal
clinical signs. The disease develops mainly when seronegative dams are exposed
oronasally to the virus anytime during about the first half of gestation, and conceptuses
are subsequently infected transplacentally before they become immunocompetent.
Treatment: Vaccines
Anemia
- lethargy, pale skin and mucous membrane, labored breathing

- Prevention & Treatment: Iron & Multivitamins with Iron
Salmonellosis
Postweaning entiritis - Grayish or greenish

diarrhea
- Profuse watery
diarrhea
- Prevention & Treatment:

Sulfa Drugs & Penecillin

Early stage: Analgen; Penecillin Group
Mastitis, Metritis, Agalactia

fever, poor

secretion
occurring just
after
parturition.
Prevention & Treatment: Good Hygiene & Yellow mucoid
Sanitation; Massage with warm water; Local discharge
infusion of Penecillin through intra mammary;
Oxytetracycline from the vulva

temperature, poor appetite, walks

when handled. Skin discoloration
of the ears and

Brucellosis
Abortion, sterility,
orchitis, lameness,
posterior paralysis.
Abortion may reach
as high as
50%-80% usually
during early
gestation period.
Brucellosis suis
Brucellosis
Symptoms: Apparently healthy; abortion on the early stage;

infertility; retained placenta
Prevention & Treatment: Vaccinations

PED
Porcine epidemic diarrhoea is caused by a coronavirus

somewhat similar to that which causes TGE
Sows
 This can vary from very mild "cow pat" faeces through to a watery diarrhoea.
 Loose faeces.
Piglets
 Diarrhoea. Prevention & Treatment: Vaccination;
 Dehydration.
 Mortality may be high.
Biosecurity
PED
Weaners & Growers

 Acute watery diarrhoea with no blood or mucus.
 Mortality is usually low but morbidity can be high.
 When the virus is first introduced on to the farm there is a rapid spread of diarrhoea
across all breeding and growing pigs with almost 100% morbidity (pigs affected) within
5 to 10 days. The incubation period is 2 to 4 days.
 Vomiting.
Illietis
 Can result in bloody diarrhea and sudden death

 15 – 20% mortality
Chronic/Clinical Ileitis
 Diarrhea
 Poor feed efficiency
 Poor growth rate resulting in lighter weights compared to healthy pigs
Subclinical Ileitis Prevention &
 No diarrhea Treatment: Baytril or
 Variations in growth and weight gain compared to healthy pigs Denagard;
Multivitamins with
Iron
Leptospirosis
Abortion, stillbirths, neonatal mortality occurring

usually 1-4 weeks after infection. Loss of
appetite, fever, diarrhea, hemoglobinurian, icterus.
Prevention & Control: Vaccinations

Hypoglycemia
- piglets are pale with cold clammy skin and unresponsive to stimuli.
- Piglets stand with splayed legs or in sternal or lateral recumbency
followed by convulsion, coma and death

Parakeratosis
Parakeratosis is a nutritional deficiency disease of 6-

to 16-wk-old pigs characterized by lesions of the
superficial layers of the epidermis. It is a metabolic Signs are limited to the skin, although
disturbance resulting from a deficiency of zinc (also mild lethargy, anorexia, and growth
see Zinc) or inadequate absorption of zinc due to an depression may be seen in severe
excess of calcium, phytates, or other chelating cases; there is little if any pruritus
agents in the diet
Scabies/Mange/Galis
Symptoms & Clinical Signs: itchiness, redness
Prevention and Control: Ivermectin/Baymec; Vit ADE

Severe: Treatment management of Ivermectin & Penecillin
