Post weaning disease control

The long cold Canadian winters present some unique challenges in pig production. Keeping animals warm in the winter, temperature fluctuations and ventilation issues. The former is a challenge to newly weaned pigs in particular and the latter, or lack of it brings on problems with respiratory and systemic infections.
Necropsies of typical cases give you a good overview of what is going on. Samples can be taken and sent away for testing, these all add up to the overall picture and diagnosis and what may be the best method of control.
