Swine Enteric Diseases

A Healthy Gut Optimizes Pig Performance

A healthy, protected gut has significant positive impacts on pig performance, including increased average daily gain (ADG) and feed conversion.1–4 In short, a healthy pig gut stimulates healthy growth.  


Enteric diseases, including ileitis, salmonellosis and porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED), are common gastrointestinal disorders that, if left untreated, can result in undernourished, dehydrated pigs and possible death.

Ileitis

Ileitis, caused by Lawsonia intracellularis, is a common bacterial illness, with greater than 95% prevalence,5 that reduces both growth rate and feed efficiency.6,7
