the most serious diseases of pigs

Pigs are susceptible to various diseases, which can be infectious or non-infectious.

Infectious diseases pose the greatest risk to pigs as they can spread rapidly and lead to the death of animals. These include:

  • African Swine Fever (ASF): a viral disease that is fatal to pigs.
  • Classical Swine Fever (CSF): a viral disease that affects pigs of all ages.
  • Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS): a viral disease that causes reproductive and respiratory issues in pigs.
  • Aujeszky's Disease (pseudorabies): a disease affecting the nervous system of pigs and can be transmitted to humans.
  • Salmonellosis: a bacterial disease causing diarrhea, vomiting, and other symptoms in pigs and humans.

Additionally, pigs can also become infected with parasites such as:

  • Ascarids: roundworms that infect the intestines of pigs.
  • Trichinella: parasites causing trichinellosis in humans when consuming infected pork.
  • Strongyles: roundworms affecting the intestines and lungs of pigs.

Non-infectious diseases in pigs can be caused by various factors such as nutrient deficiencies, poisoning from toxic substances, or heat stress.

For successful pig farming, it is essential to provide good housing conditions, balanced nutrition, regular vaccination against infectious diseases, conduct disinfection of premises, and promptly seek veterinary assistance when signs of disease appear. Treatment of pig diseases may involve the use of antibiotics, antiviral drugs, deworming, and symptomatic therapy.
