Respiratory Diseases Of Swine Hit Michigan Herds
Michigan herds suffer heavy losses from two respiratory diseases, atrophic rhinitis and virus pneumonia, per MSU veterinarian Dr. Ralph D. Barner. Rhinitis lowers weight gain and feed efficiency, with up to 22 percent losses in some virus pneumonia herds. Transmission occurs via breeding stock and sneezing pigs. there is no treatment or vaccine for rhinitis. Strategies include isolating sows, using disease-free replacements, and on a farm level, pasture farrowing to curb spread. For virus pneumonia, parasite control aids progression, and maintaining disease-free herds through quarantine and careful culling is advised.
