Recognising exotic diseases of pigs
Primefact Number: 955 Edition: First edition Released/reviewed: Sep 2009
Most people familiar with livestock are able to identify when an animal is sick.
Most sick animals will lose their appetite, be reluctant to rise and may have a fever (in pigs >39.5°C).
If left untreated, these animals are likely to lose weight and die.
It is important that pig owners are familiar with what they can and cant feed their animals.
It is also crucial that they are able to identify and report any potential exotic diseases.
This Primefact provides information on clinical signs that might indicate the presence of an exotic or a new, emerging disease in pigs.
