Large animal nursing common diseases of swine
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| neonatal pigs have few fat stores and therefore require | supplemental heat durin the first few weeks of life 1st week 92-95, 2nd week 89-92, 3rd week 86-89 |
| if piglets are not nursing or kept warm appropriately it is easy for them to become | hypoglycemic and hypothermic |
| a few pig processing techniques that are essencial and are important for disease prevention are | injection of iron dextran, clipping needle teeth, castration, tails may be docked |
| multisystemic diseases disease caused by a bacterium that enters the body through lymphoid tissue localizing in the skin, heart and joints | erysipelas - causes high fever and may produce characteristic diamond skin lesions |
| swine are considered natural host of this virus | pseudorabies virus (Aujeszky's Disease, Mad Itch) |
| clinical signs of pseudorabies are | neurologic signs in baby pigs, flu-like signs in growing pigs, and embryonic death aborstion or still birth in pregnant sows or gilts |
| PRRS stands for a virus that is prevalent in US swine herds, entering through the respiratory tract, replicates in the pulmonary cells resulting in pneumonia | porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome |
| clinical signs of PRRS include | fever, lethargy, inappetence, and cyanosis of the ears, vulva, tail, abdomen and snout |
| the respiratory syndrome manifests as | labored breathing, increased secondary respiratory infection, increased post weaning mortality and decreased rate of grain and feed efficiency |
| the reproductive syndrome includes | abortion, stillbirth, fetal mummies. and the birth of weak piglets |
| common causative agents for baby pig diarrhea include | enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) or colibacillosis, rotavirus, coronavirus or transmissible gastroenteritis, clostridial enteritis, coccidiosis and parasites such as Strongyloides WOW!!!!! |
| in all of the causes for diarrhea the most important thing is | nursing care -electrolye replacement and warm environment |
| a common disease process that can significantly affect growth performance with signs of cough, thumping or shallow rapid breathing, depression and weight loss | pneumonia caused by atrophic rhinitis, swine influenza, Mycoplasma mneumonia, pleuropneumonia and pasteurella pneumonia |
| the typical length of gestation for swine is | 114 days, or 3 months, 3 weeks and 3 days |
| several infectious agents are responsible for poor reproductive efficiency in swine they are | PRRS, porcine parvovirus PPV, brucellosis and leptospirosis |
| A virus that only affects pregnant swine is | porcine parvovirus |
| the best way to provide lifelong immunity is by | natural infection prior to breeding |
| the primary serovars adapted to swine are | Leptospira pomona and Leptospira bratislava with the only obvious sign of the bacterium is aborted, weeak and stillborn pigs |
| Nervous System a result of overconsumption of excessive sodium or inadequate water intake or both can lead to | salt poisoning known as sodium ion toxicosis or water deprivation |
| water deprivation causes | hyperosmolarity with in the CNS, so that when water is consumed, osmotic pressure draws fluid into the CNS causing cerebral edema |
| affected pigs of salt toxicity include | restlessness, pruritus, constipation, thirst, depression, blindness, convulsions and death as the toxicity progresses |
| musculoskeletal system PSS Porcine Stress Syndrome is also known as | malignant hyperthermia |
| PSS is a genetic disease that results in | muscle tremors, hyperthermia and death. |
| PSS is caused by | stress, halothane and other anesthetics may precipitate the development of PSS |
| the genetic mutation occurs | a single autosomal recessive gene, and disease is manifested only in pigs that are homozygous recessive for this gene |
| Behavior the pigs normal response to fear includes | vocalization and attempts to escape |
| Pigs have poor eyesight but a very good sense of | smell |
| rooting is | a normal foraging behavior of pigs with their snout |
| swine have a strong social hierarchy that is established by | aggressive behavior |
| abnormal behavior is likely to develop because of | stressful living conditions |
| pot bellied pigs the number one reason PBP are rehomed or abandonded is because of | unrealistic expectations of their behaviors |
| the most common GI issue with PBP is | obesity, feed for PBP is formulated low in fat and protein and high in fiber |
| water intake in pigs is important for prevention of | cystitis, urolithiasis and salt poisoning |
