Ileitis

• 10 minutes

Porcine ileitis, a common disease also known as Porcine Proliferative Enteropathy, is caused by the bacterium Lawsonia intracellularis. The costs of the disease can be high and have been projected to exceed US$22 per affected pig and production losses can be significant even if physical symptoms aren’t apparent, writes JoAnn Alumbaugh.

SCOTLAND - Results from a recent survey indicate that more than 60 per cent of slaughter pigs suffer some degree of Ileitis during their lives. The findings, collected from a comprehensive blood-testing programme carried out in Scotland, provides valuable information on the disease and how control methods could be improved.
