Q

Control of colibacillosis

A

Vaccination of the sow Containing F4 (K88), F5 (K99) and F6 (987P) with LT if possible

Ensure hygiene and warm conditions
Ensure that piglets have clean water
Breeding stock with inherent resistance to F4 (K88)

Q

Prevention of post weaning ecoli diarrhoea

A

Ensure good creep intakes from 7 days of age in farrowing
Provide highly digestible diets
Reduce crude protein
Use of feed or water additives such as organic acids, beta glucans, probiotics
Future use of Bacteriophages
Maintain correct temperature and hygiene
Medication of water for 1 week or feed for 2 weeks only where management changes have not been able to control

Q

Animals are susceptible to clostridial disease when (3 things)

A
  1. They have not had sufficient specific antibody in colostrum or it has declined and there is no active immunity
  2. When milk is withdrawn
  3. When the gut wall has been disrupted and the immune system cannot protect

C/S of clostridium type c

A

Outbreak, affects several litters
36-48 hours after birth
Pass bloody faeces, but may die suddenly

Q

Tx and prevention of Clostridium type c

A

Treatment of developed disease not effective because of damaged epithelium.
Oral or parenteral antimicrobial (especially amoxycillin) may be of value in prevention.
Vaccines made from toxoid/killed culture and aluminium adjuvants given to sows pre farrowing to provide protective colostrum

Q

Tx and control for Type A clostridium

A

Parenteral penicillins can help - oral amoxicillin
a-toxin vaccines protect through colostrum.
Hygiene improvements to reduce challenge

17
Q

Porcine Intestinal Adenomatosis (PIA) is also known as

A

Proliferative enteropathy

18
Q

What is PIA

A

Porcine Intestinal Adenomatosis An infectious bacterial condition of weaned pigs leading to reduced/ uneven growth and raised Feed conversion ratio

19
Q

Porcine Intestinal Adenomatosis (PIA)/Proliferative enteropathy is caused by which bacteria

A

Lawsonia intracellularis

20
Q

CX of PIA

A

Any age from weaning to adult
Incubation period of 3-6 weeks
Lasts 4-6 weeks, typically a ‘rolling infection’
Pale pigs, poor growth, anaemic, melaena
May be grey ‘cowpat’ faeces
Recover, die or may remain stunted

21
Q

DX of PIA

A

PM-In regional ileitis the mucosa is eroded with muscular hypertrophy
PCR (RT & Quantitative)
Culture
ELISA – blood
Silver staining of tissue

22
Q

TX of PIA

A

Tetracycline or tiamulin parenterally for seriously affected animals or in drinking water for 5 days if less acute

23
Q

Prevention of PIA

A

Live oral vaccine ‘Enterisol’ (Boehringer) given from 3 weeks of age. Antimicrobials should NOT be given for three days before or after vaccination

24
Q

Swine dysentery only affects which part of the GI?

A

Large intestine

25
Q

Swine dysentery is caused by what kind of bacteria

A

Brachyspira hyodysenteriae

26
Q

C/S of swine dysentery

A

Incubation period 6-14 days
Animals thin
Fresh blood and mucus in diarrhoea
Afebrile
Recover after 2-3 weeks
Up to 25% mortality
Morbidity up to 75%
Chronic loss of condition
Immunity slow to develop

27
Q

PM finding of swine dysentery

A

Carcase dehydrated and often poor condition
Large intestine flaccid, thin walled and may show serosal evidence of inflammation
Contents fluid with blood and mucus
Mucosa covered with surface blood, necrotic debris and mucus
Inflamed mucosa contains Brachyspira hyodysenteriae

28
Q

Tx of Swine dysentery

A

Tiamulin (antibiotic)
Parenteral for severely-affected pigs, water medication and then feed for groups
Treat all pigs in drainage contact
May require repeated pulses
Disinfect after treatment

29
Q

Control of Swine Dysentery

A

Slats and solid partitions reduce spread
Treat batches into clean accommodation
Eradicate by full or partial depopulation
Isolation prevents entry

30
Q

Elimination of Swine Dysentery From a Farrow to Finish Farm

A

Full depopulation/ repopulation may be required (depending on concurrent disease)
Partial Depopulation sufficient for SD on its own
Look at biosecurity of unit
Requires a population with stable immunity
Usually carried out in Summer (benefit of UV light)
Remove all weaned pigs up to 10 months of age
Medicate the remaining breeding herd and suckling pigs at high dose rates for at least 6 wks
Wean off site during depop

31
Q

In investigating enteric diseases in pigs, what samples should be given to PM

A
  1. Whole carcases/ live pigs would be the preferred sample
  2. Pooled faecal samples for PCR and culture would be appropriate
  3. Serology can be carried out for Salmonellosis or Lawsonia but exposure does not confirm cause of clinical disease
