Abstract
This case study describes sudden deaths of pigs in a North Carolina production system at three different finishing facilities between June 2019 and February 2020. The cases involved 3- to 6-month-old pigs of the same genetics but from different sow farm flows. Pigs at all three sites had gross lesions that included firm, deep red to purple lungs. Based on laboratory results from tissue samples, all cases were diagnosed with Actinobacillus suis. Treatments and the significance of this disease in swine are discussed.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Swine Health & Production (JSHAP) is an open-access and peer-reviewed journal published by the American Association of Swine Veterinarians (AASV) since 1993. The aim of the journal is the timely publication of peer-reviewed papers with a scope that encompasses the many domains of applied swine health and production, including the diagnosis, treatment, management, prevention and eradication of swine diseases, welfare & behavior, nutrition, public health, epidemiology, food safety, biosecurity, pharmaceuticals, antimicrobial use and resistance, reproduction, growth, systems flow, economics, and facility design. The journal provides a platform for researchers, veterinary practitioners, academics, and students to share their work with an international audience. The journal publishes information that contains an applied and practical focus and presents scientific information that is accessible to the busy veterinary practitioner as well as to the research and academic community. Hence, manuscripts with an applied focus are considered for publication, and the journal publishes original research, brief communications, case reports/series, literature reviews, commentaries, diagnostic notes, production tools, and practice tips. All manuscripts submitted to the Journal of Swine Health & Production are peer-reviewed.
