MALADIE OEDEME [1 record]

Record 1 2017-12-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Animal Diseases
DEF

A highly fatal disease of young pigs in the weaner and grower age groups characterized by incoordination, a hoarseness of voice, weakness, flaccid paralysis and blindness.

OBS

Oedema of the eyelids, face and ears is diagnostic but is seldom visible on clinical examination. The course is short, often less than 24 hours, and many pigs are just found dead. The disease is attributed to an enterotoxaemia caused by the opportunistic proliferation of specific serotypes of Escherichia coli in an intestinal environment brought about by a change to a diet more dense in carbohydrates.
