Background: Ileitis is a wasting disease of pigs. Clinical symptoms are diarrhea in growing pigs, wasting and reduced performance. Ileitis is ubiquitous in pig producing countries all around the world. It is estimated that the economic losses caused by the disease are USD 4.65 per fattening pig, and American pig farmers lose USD 56.1 million annually. It has become necessary to develop a slaughterhouse ileitis monitoring method that is simple, feasible to perform at modern slaughter lines, leads to immediate results and is cost effective. The practical experiences of applying the method are presented below. Methods: Our studies were performed on pig herds and slaughterhouses in Central European countries (Hungary, Romania, Poland, Croatia, and Slovakia). Experiences were evaluated based on visual and palpation. The results of our investigations were evaluated by a scoring method. Authors made histological and immunohistochemical examinations of investigated ileums. The hypothetic economic losses due to the disease in each farm were determined by estimating the loss of profit according to Holtkamp’s presentation in 2019. Results: The essentials of the method we have developed are: it can be performed during slaughterhouse processing, it does not interfere with or make it impossible to carry out normal technological processes, and the results of the procedure are correlated with the results of other laboratory diagnostic tests for ileitis (histology, immunohistochemistry, herd serology, fecal PCR). It is noteworthy that the results of the method can be used to immediately estimate the impact of Lawsonia intracellularis infection on the performance of the herd from which the slaughter animals come. Conclusion: Using the results of the slaughtered pigs’ visual and tactile examination at the slaughterhouse, the magnitude of the loss caused by Lawsonia intracellularis infection can be estimated quickly and accurately, and the return on investment of the strategy to be applied can be accurately planned.
A szerzők közleményükben bemutatják egyes szaporodásbiológiai mutatók alakulását a PRRS-fertőződés és a mentesítés fázisaiban. A nagylétszámú, fialástól a vágásig típusú, PRRS-fertőzött állományok mentesítése során a tenyészállomány vakcinázását negyedévente végezték. Az utódállományban az immunizálás eredményességét laboratóriumi vizsgálatokkal ellenőrizték, és pontosan meghatározták annak megszüntethetősége időpontját. Ugyanakkor a belső járványvédelem alkalmazott módszereit szükség szerint felülvizsgálták. Ennek eredményeképpen a telep teljesítette a mentes, vakcinázott sertéstelepre vonatkozó hatósági követelményeket.
A sertések légzőszervi tünetegyüttese (Porcine Respiratory Disease Complex, PRDC) nagy gazdasági károkat okozhat a sertésállományokban. A multifaktoriális PRDC kórokozóinak feltérképezése során a baktériumok közül a zoonotikus Bergeyella zoohelcum is azonosítására került már. A szerzők a cikkben röviden áttekintik a Bergeyella nemzetségbe tartozó jelentősebb baktériumokat, majd esetismertetésükben leírják és jellemzik a laboratóriumba beérkezett sertéstüdőminták kórbonctani elváltozásait és a baktériumtenyésztés, valamint az antibiotikumérzékenységi vizsgálat során kapott eredményeket. A vizsgált magyarországi sertésmintában Bergeyella zoohelcum került kimutatásra.
