Growing/Finishing Diarrhea Diseases
This material is for informational purposes only. You cannot definitively diagnose the cause of diarrhea just by looking at affected pigs. Please consult your veterinarian for a diagnosis and proper treatment
The six causes of diarrhea that we are most likely to find in growing and finishing pigs are Transmissible Gastroenteritis (TGE), Proliferative Ileitis, Hemorrhagic Bowel Syndrome, Salmonella, Swine Dysentery, and Whipworms.
1. TGE
Signs:
- Diarrhea and vomiting in all ages of pigs.
- Older pigs may not be as severely affected.
- Diarrhea and vomiting may occur in gilts and sows.
- Yellow, watery diarrhea occurs in baby pigs.
- There is a high death loss in the younger pigs but this decreases with age.
- TGE most commonly occurs in the winter.
Necropsy:
- Fluid content in the small intestine.
- Thinning of the bowel wall.
- Villous blunting
- Clear lacteals
Treatment:
- Consult your veterinarian.
Prevention:
- Optimize sanitation.
- Maximize biosecurity especially in the winter.
2. Proliferative Ileitis
Signs:
- (Non-bloody-proliferative ileitis) Weight loss and dark stool with “cow-pie” consistency.
- (Bloody-acute hemorrhagic proliferative enteropathy) The stool may be dark, tar-like, or bloody or may just contain flakes of blood.
- Sudden death may be the result of the bloody diarhhea.
Necropsy:
- (Non-bloody) Greatly thickened lining of the small intestine which is often referred to as a “garden hose” gut.
- (Bloody) Thickened segments of the small intestine containing blood clots.
Treatment:
- Consult your veterinarian.
