SWINE DYSENTERY AND ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE
R. Reichel, C. Gaudie, C. Teale and S.H. Done.

Abstract
Limitations on the ability to effectively control recurring Swine Dysentery problems in a particular herd are discussed in detail. These hinge on the now non-availibility of certain drugs, previously used successfully, i.e. carbadox, dimetridazole and sodium arsanilate, and the apparent reduced susceptibility of the organism to those still permitted - viz: tylosin and lincomycin. The complete history of the herd under investigation is set out, which apparently confirm these findings. Other farms, with similar disease patterns, are also facing the same problems. Units, without suitable all-in/all-out facilities and no opportunities for complete and effective programmes, are likely to experience ongoing Swine Dysentery problems way into the future
