Plain-English summary
This study talks about a straightforward way for veterinarians to keep track of health information for pig herds. The information gathered can help them make better decisions during farm visits and put in place measures to prevent diseases. It highlights important steps that pig owners should know to keep their animals healthy, especially for those who may only have a small number of pigs. Overall, the approach aims to improve disease prevention in pig farming.
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.
