We are talking about PRRSV, M. hyo, PCV2, App and swine influenza virus.

It has not proved possible to actively eliminate App from chronically affected permanently occupied breeder-feeder herds.

This paper describes the acute outbreak of App within a pig population and how control may be achieved.

An erythema multiforme (EM) was noticed in the majority (90%) of breeding stock, associated with respiratory problems and without mortality.

Carcasses showed a good body condition and a pronounced cyanosis in the area of the ventral abdomen and the ventral throat.

This clinical case study tracks the long term pattern and control of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (App) disease in a breeder feeder farm through the 1990’s.

App control is an essential link to control pleuroneumonia in PRRS-positive herds.

PRRSV by itself may induce mild-to-severe respiratory disease but rarely results in mortality.

The prevalence of pleurisy is surprisingly high among pigs at slaughter. A recent review of available data ranged from 12.5% in the UK, 26% in Spain, to 41% of individual pigs slaughtered in one Norwegian study.
