Need of feed medication and vaccination…

Farm types.

High health status farm.

Conventional farm.

Diseases encountered or endemic diseases.

5

High health status farms …

Diseases are minimized.

Minimum use of feed medication and vaccines (CSF/FMD/AD).

Good housings and biosecurity are necessary.

11

Conventional farms…

A lot of diseases (endemic diseases) existing in the herd.

Feed medications in some production processes are needed.

Vaccinations against many diseases have to be performed.

Diseases to be concerned…

Mycoplasmal pneumonia (MP) and other mycoplasmal infections.

Swine erysipelas (SE), Actinobacillus pleuropneumonia (APP) and other bacterial infections.

Ileitis (IL) or PIA-complex.

16

MP…

Most sows are carriers.

Lower concerned at this time because of routine MP-vaccination for PRDC control.

17

SE…

Subclinical in most herds.

Some abortion and MMA in some situations (stressed / immunosuppressed).

18

APP…

High risk to introduce this disease into APP-free herd.

Strict quarantine must be performed for the replacements.

19

IL…

Very common in most herds esp. in high health status farms.

About 20% of sows in any herds will be carriers.

High impacts on ADG and FCR of finishing pigs.

20

Medication and Vaccination...
