Monitoring for atrophic rhinitis: five years' experience with a pilot control scheme.

R F Goodwin, P Whittlestone

    The Veterinary Record
    |October 29, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    A pilot program in Britain successfully controlled atrophic rhinitis in pig herds. The scheme required herds to be free of clinical signs and turbinate damage for two years, preventing disease spread.

    The Veterinary record·1990

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Animal Health Management
    • Swine Production

    Background:

    • Atrophic rhinitis poses a significant challenge in swine production.
    • Effective control strategies are crucial for maintaining herd health and economic viability.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of a pilot control scheme for atrophic rhinitis in British pig herds.
    • To assess the long-term impact of the control scheme on disease incidence.

    Main Methods:

    • Implementation of a control scheme by the Pig Health Control Association starting in January 1977.
    • Qualification criteria included a minimum two-year period of low turbinate damage and absence of clinical signs.
    • Controlled pig importation for qualifying herds, restricting sources to other qualifying herds or surgical methods (hysterectomy/hysterotomy).

    Main Results:

    • By the end of 1982, 34 herds (approximately 7200 sows) were actively participating in the scheme.
    • Despite the scheme not targeting specific infectious agents, atrophic rhinitis did not emerge within participating herds.
    • No disease recurrence was observed in herds established from listed herds, even with stock imported from 15 other qualifying herds.

    Conclusions:

    • The pilot control scheme demonstrated success in preventing and controlling atrophic rhinitis in commercial pig herds.
    • The scheme's success suggests that management-based controls, focusing on herd health status, can be effective in disease eradication.
    • The findings support the implementation of similar stringent health schemes for managing atrophic rhinitis in swine populations.
