Ileitis – one of the most widespread intestinal diseases at pigs. However economic consequences of diseases of animals often aren’t taken by an ileitis into consideration. Dr. Heike Engels (Germany) tells about an ileitis, possibilities of its prevention and treatment, and also about an economic damage caused to them.
Long time the ileitis was considered as the eradicated. However, recently it began to meet again especially in chronic forms. Diarrhea by which the ileitis is accompanied, in general is a big problem in a svinovodstvo. It pigs-sosuny at whom the immunizing gastroenteric flora wasn’t created yet often are ill. But also during time otkorma, depending on production management and a state of health, the probability of a disease of animals an ileitis or other diareyny disease is great.
The ileitis is transferred from an animal to an animal (especially often from a sow to pigs) and through containing infections of excrements. The general risk factors of emergence of this disease are continuous filling of a pigsty without sanitary changes, non-compliance with hygiene and nonperforated floors in rooms (transfer of activators by contact to excrements). Stresses (for example, from transportation, high density of placement or regroupings) in addition reduce immunity of animals. Insufficiently good conditions of the contents in rooms (cold, drafts), and also sharp change of structure of a forage too are risk factors.
Infection with an ileitis at the enterprises where pigs-otjemyshi contain or fatten pigs, can lead to serious economic losses since the specified illness doesn’t give possibility completely to use genetic potential and leads to increase in expenses at cultivation of one pig. The revenue decreases because of livestock heterogeneity in one stream and a low share of low-fat meat.
The most important condition of prevention and ileitis treatment – infection identification. Strict control which would help to find weak places in the contents and feeding of pigs, risk factors is necessary.
