Parasitoses in pigs and their eradication. [Parassitosi dei suini, obiettivo eradicazione.]
Rivista di Suinicoltura, 2002, 43: 91-93
Parasitoses are fairly common in pigs in Italy. Of 23200 pig carcasses investigated in 1998, 52% were affected by ascariasis (Ascaris suum), and 68.2% of piglets in 44 herds examined in 2001 were affected by coccidiosis. Endoparasitoses and ectoparasitoses lead to loss of appetite, stress, poor feed conversion efficiency and susceptibility to other illnesses. Methods of preventing and eradicating parasitoses are considered.
