WPS? 4 .-1 Prepared br Amerlrin Foundation tor Animal Hralth With the heavy farrowing seaion here, farmers are cautioned that two diseases bear a great deal of watching to cut down the chances of baby pig losses. The diseases are swine erysipelas and virus pig pneumonia. Erysipelas causes losses of about $24 million a year and the annual loss from virus pneumonia is estimated at $120 million, It is estimated that 40 per cent of the nation's swine herds are infected with this latter disease. Erysipelas may occur in several forms. The most common are the rhrnnir inlnt or skin form and the acute form Which produces sudden death. Young pigs seem 10 do affected with the acute type more often. Symptoms' of acute erysipelas include sleepy appearance, fever, loss of appetite, stiff gait. In the chronic type, the infection frequently settles in the joints and causes arthritis and occasionally skin lesions on the ears, stomach and between the legs. This is the danger season for baby pig diseases. Trompt diagnosis and treatment by a veterinarian are highly important if erysipelastlosses are to be kept to a minimum. Actually, the best way to cope with the disease is to have a veterinarian vaccinate all pigs against erysipelas. Virus pig pneumonia usually strikes pigs about 3 weeks of age. Coughing is often the first symptom and is most severe in the morning when pigs are first roused. Scouring also develops at about the time coughing starts. Often pigs do not look sick, but feed utilization is poor. . Unfortunately, many farmers may mistake Vpp for swine flu or any one of several other baby pig diseases. Such a mistake can be truly costly, hence the wisest first step is to have a veterinarian diagnose to determine the real trouble. VPP is extremely difficult to control. One method suggested is pig isolation combined with replacement of infected breeding stock with certified VPP-free pigs. This is the danger season time to be on the lookout for both diseases.
