    Summary

    An outbreak of proliferative haemorrhagic enteropathy (PHE) affected 372 adult pigs, causing 186 deaths. Antibiotic feed medication proved effective in preventing further cases of this swine disease.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Animal Pathology
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Proliferative haemorrhagic enteropathy (PHE) is a significant swine disease.
    • An outbreak occurred in a minimal disease piggery affecting breeding stock.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To document an outbreak of PHE in adult pigs.
    • To identify the causative agent and effective control measures.

    Main Methods:

    • Epidemiological investigation of the outbreak.
    • Bacteriological isolation from affected animals.
    • Evaluation of antibiotic feed medication for prophylaxis.

    Main Results:

    • The outbreak affected 372 adult pigs, with 186 fatalities.
    • The initial episode involved a fully susceptible population of sows and boars.
    • Subsequent cases were linked to newly introduced animals.
    • Bacteria resembling Campylobacter sputorum subspecies mucosalis were isolated.
    • Antibiotic feed medication was effective in prophylaxis.

    Conclusions:

    • Campylobacter sputorum subspecies mucosalis is implicated in PHE outbreaks.
    • Antibiotic feed medication can be an effective control strategy for PHE.
