Investigation of respiratory disorders in slaughtered pigs
돼지의 호흡기질병 감염상황 조사
Abstract
An abattoir survey of pneumonia and other lesions in slaughtered pigs from 5 selected herds located In the Western Kyongbuk was carried out during the period from March to December 1995. Pneumonic lungs was attempted bacteriological finding and antibiotic susceptibilities. From 583 slaughtered pigs, 445(76.3%) case was pneumonic lungs, seasonal patterns were Winter, Spring, Autumn, Summer in the order named. Among them, 127(21.8%) case was mycopla-sma pneumonia and 65(11.2%) case was pleuropneumonia. In snout lesion grade from 337 slaughtered pigs, above grade II score was 107(31.8%). In the white spot of liver, grade I was 544(93.3%), grade II32(5.5%) and grade III 7(1.2%). In the gastric ulcer, normal was 350(60.0%), grade I168(28.8%), grade II59(10.1%) and grade III 6(1.1%). Among the pigs(n=271) with pneumonic lesions above 20%, 162 strains werr isolated from 87(32.1%) pigs. The bacteria isolated from pneumonic lesions was Pasteurella sp 61(37.7%), Streptococcus sp 31(19.1%), Actinobacillus sp 3(1.9%), Coliform bacteria 19(11.7%) and the other bacteria 48(29.6%) These isolates were highly susceptible to the antibiotics including ENR 142(87.7%), Cft 138(85.2%) and Cf 126(77.8%).
