Ileitis

Impact of Ileitis Ileitis or porcine proliferative enteropathy (PPE) is an infectious enteric disease caused by Lawsonia intracellularis. The organism and disease are present in all swine producing regions around the globe. In other words, Lawsonia intracellularis infection is a ubiquitous disease causing huge economic loss worldwide.

VACCINATION OF SUCKLING PIGS

  • 10 minutes

A frequent observation: after a treatment (injection, etc.) stressed piglets may not suckle for several hours. This has negative consequences for the development of the piglets and may result in milk-congestion in the sow.

ENSURING AN OPTIMAL THERMAL ENVIRONMENT FOR PIGLETS

  • 5 minutes

Newborn piglets lack brown adipose (fat) tissue which is available to many other mammals as an energy source at birth and thereby they are more sensitive to cold stress when compared to other mammals. They are at greatest risk of hypothermia immediately after birth with a lowering of body-temperature of up to 5°C possible. Through shivering piglets try to maintain body temperature but as a result lose valuable energy reserves!
