Slaughter checks play a crucial role in optimizing swine herd health. By examining animals post-slaughter, producers gain direct insights into the effectiveness of their health management strategies.

This process identifies prevalent health issues and aids in tailoring preventive measures. Insights from these evaluations are critical for enhancing overall herd well-being and operational efficiency.

Implementing regular slaughter checks ensures informed decision-making, ultimately leading to improved productivity and sustainability in swine production.

Early-life piglet scours, or neonatal diarrhea, significantly impacts swine production by affecting the health and growth of piglets. Addressing its root causes—microbial infections, gut microbiota disruption, and environmental stressors—is essential for improving piglet welfare and farm productivity.

First step in controlling the disease is prevention by vaccinating the sows pre-farrow with commercial or autogenous vaccines or on-farm feedback strategies. This ensures optimal maternal antibodies in the colostrum. This should be followed by ensuring adequate colostrum intake by the piglets to boost their immunity.
A stringent cleaning and disinfection protocol and a good temperature and ventilation control will also reduce scouring events. Internal biosecurity between litters and targeted nutritional interventions, e.g. providing starch products and/or electrolytes, will limit the effects of the disease on farm.

Implementing these health and management strategies helps to reduce the incidence of scour, enhance piglet survival rates, and support healthier growth patterns. Early and proactive intervention is critical to managing this prevalent issue in the swine industry.
