Edema disease of swine: differentiation of clinical variants and terminal pathologies
Journal Title: Бюлетень "Ветеринарна біотехнологія" - Year 2018, Vol 32, Issue
Abstract
Introduction. Edema disease is an infectious, colibacterial, toxemic, angiopathic, generalized disease of domestic pigs.The swine edema disease is diagnosed by the selected diagnostically important clinical signs. The gradation of the terminal pathologies in the case of animal mortality will significantly reduce the potential risk of human infection by the contaminated products. The goal of the work was to carry out the comparative analysis of clinical signs of edema disease of swine on the farm with persistent pathogen and to determine terminal pathologies at some clinical variants of the disease. Materials and methods. In the period of the expected outbreak of edema disease of swine (the weaning of pigs with the transition to grain feeds), 25 pigs of the Large White breed were selected (from 27 days to 2 months old). The selection of animals was based on the presence of one or more of the following symptoms that are considered to be characteristic of edema disease of swine (edema, nervous disorders, enteral pathologies). The method of clinical observation was used. Results of research and discussion. On the basis of the conducted investigation, the data on the variability of clinical manifestations of edema disease of swine have been collected and summarized. The systematization of the clinical signs allowed to differentiate the following variants of edema disease of swine: intestinal, nervous (with a collapse component), edematous and mixed ones. Conclusions and prospects for further research. According to the results of our own research edema disease of swine was manifested by three monovariants and by the mixed variants. The monovariant manifestations were classified on the basis of the dominant clinical symptoms. Among them are the following: 1 – intestinal; 2 – edematous; 3 – nervous. The course of edema disease of swine in the mixed variants began, as a rule, from the intestinal or edematous variant and it was complicated by the nervous one. The development of a differential scale of the pathological and morphological parameters of this disease will be the next stage of the research to obtain as reliable as possible data for the preliminary diagnosis of edema disease of swine.
