ETIOLOGY AND CLINICAL SIGNS OF PNEUMONIA IN PIGS
Animal diseases, which are associated with intensification of production, are widespread throughout the world and are the main cause of losses in animal husbandry. Including in pig farming, a high level of production is achieved by improving management methods. However, high productivity in the industry can be obtained only with a maximum reduction in the incidence among pigs. The purpose of our work was to study the distribution of pneumonia of various etiologies among pigs in the conditions of the Agroholding-Yubileiny pig complex of the Ishim district of the Tyumen region. As a result of the studies conducted, it was found that respiratory diseases are widespread in Agroholding-Yubileiny CJSC and 26.2% of the total number of diseases in pigs are recorded. Among respiratory pathologies, pneumonia, pleurisy, pulmonary edema, lung emphysema, bronchitis, laryngitis and lung gangrene are recorded. Moreover, the causes of the development of diseases in animals are various natural, infectious, invasive, fodder, stressful, anthropogenic, iatrogenic and other factors, they can take on a contagious nature. An important point in the successful therapy of animals with diseases of the respiratory system is, first of all, the implementation of a comprehensive examination of animals taking into account the history and laboratory studies of the obtained biological material for making a correct diagnosis.
