Control of PMWS in Spanish herds
B&M C.V.P, Consulting Veterinario Porcino, Barcelona, Spain - The first case of post-weaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS) was diagnosed in Spain in 1997. The disease affects pigs aged between 7 and 14 weeks and begins with the appearance of varied respiratory and digestive symptoms which produce a high mortality rate (5-20%), for which reason it is considered to be one of the most serious problems suffered by the swine industry in recent years.
