THE DISEASE STATUS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM PIG INDUSTRY
W.D. Strachan

Abstract
(MEMBERS' PAPERS) While statutory measures allow accurate knowledge of the notifiable disease status of the United Kingdom pig industry, the status of the industry with respect to enzootic diseases is less well characterized. There have been few recent published estimates of the herd and animal prevalences of the more important production-limiting diseases. The problems of enzootic disease surveillance are outlined. In addition, the status of the UK pig herd with regard to porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome, Aujeszky's disease, swine influenza, transmissible gastroenteritis, enzootic pneumonia, progressive atrophic rhinitis, Streptococcus suis, Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, swine dysentery, porcine colonic spirochaetosis, proliferative enteropathy and sarcoptic mange is reviewed.
