Abstract
A simple recording system which can be used in any veterinary office has been described. The results of the analyses are used when making a visit and to institute disease control measures. Many disease preventive measures essential to pig keeping are discussed. The busy practitioner with just a few pigs under his or her care will need to be familiar with these.
