The prevalence of lameness among 646 sows and gilts in 21 selected herds was determined; 8·8 per cent the animals were lame most common clinical diagnoses osteochondrosis, infected skin lesions claw lesions. had higher serum concentrations haptoglobin C‐reactive protein than sound animals.

Abstract Background A high rate of euthanized and spontaneously dead sows causes production losses likely indicates underlying welfare problems. Identification predisposing factors to on-farm deaths requires a thorough understanding the causes. Post-mortem examination is needed for proper diagnosis. The aims this descriptive study were determine spontaneous euthanasia in convenience sample Finnish herds describe pathological findings locomotor system teeth gums. Results This described...
The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence serum antibodies Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (APP) in Finnish farmed wild boars and evaluate basic risk factors for seropositivity agent. A sampling frame compiled based on national record boar farmers (n = 117), 26 herds were included study. Serum samples 206) obtained from all animals slaughtered these during 2007–2008 period. Indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay techniques used detect possible presence toward 12 serotypes APP....
Background In Finland, the most important internal parasites in domestic pigs are nematode Ascaris suum and coccidia Isospora suis. As environmental conditions management practices wild boar (Sus scrofa) outdoor farming suitable for during seasons, we wanted to explore parasite burden of boars Finland. This kind research has not been carried out earlier our country. Economical losses caused by parasites, especially ascarids, mainly due reduced daily weight gain feed conversion ratio [1].
