Ledpatologin hos 10 ungsuggor som uppvisat hälta och/eller förlamning

On average half of the sows in Swedish piglet producing herds are culled annually. A significant portion of the sows are euthanized because of lameness or paralysis. Young sows and gilts are overrepresented in the category of animals, culled due to injuries in the musculoskeletal system. These injur...

description On average half of the sows in Swedish piglet producing herds are culled annually. A significant portion of the sows are euthanized because of lameness or paralysis. Young sows and gilts are overrepresented in the category of animals, culled due to injuries in the musculoskeletal system. These injuries cause pain to the animals. Early culling of sows/gilts also have economical consequences for the producers. The purpose of this study was to characterize joint and skeletal changes found in 10 gilts, euthanized due to lameness and paralysis. Joints, including articular cartilage, subchondral bone and joint capsules were examined macroscopically, histologically and the synovial fluid was cultured bacteriologically. The pathological finding, responsible for lameness and paralysis of the 10 sows in this study were; arthritis, osteochondrosis, fractures, and one abscess in the vertebral column. The lesions were both acute and chronic in nature. Several of the lesions included osteoarthritis, which is a common sequel of various joint injuries.
