    SALMONELLOSIS

    Uploaded by

    Kimberly Wen Abdula
    Salmonellosis is caused by Salmonella bacteria, with the primary cause in swine being Salmonella choleraesuis. The disease is spread through the fecal-oral route and causes diarrhea, fever, loss of appetite, and pneumonia. Clinical signs in sows include high fever, depression, ear and tail congestion from septicemia, and sometimes bloody diarrhea or death. Prevention focuses on hygiene, purchasing from Salmonella-negative sources, vaccination, antibiotics, controlling rodents and animal fats in feed.

    Salmonellosis
    Salmonellosis is the disease caused by any
    of more than 2000 salmonella serotypes.
    In swine, only a few serotypes cause
    disease, usually manifested as septicemia
    and/or enterocolitis, sometimes by tissue
    localization of infection of various sites.
    Etiology or Causative Agent
    The primary cause in swine is
    Salmonella choleraesuis. Salmonella
    enterica is rod-headed, flagellate,
    facultative anaerobic, gram-negative
    bacterium and a species of the
    genus salmonella. A number of its
    serovars are serious human
    pathogens.
    Transmission
    Salmonella is spread by the fecal-oral route and can be
    transmitted by;
     food and water
     direct animal contact
     rarely from person-person
    CLINICAL SIGNS
    Diarrhea frequently results
    in emaciation from enteric
    disease with Salmonella
    Typhimurium (and other
    serotypes).

    Purple skin discoloration,


    pneumonia and rapid death
    associated with host-adapted
    systematic infection with
    Salmonella Choleraesuis.
    Clinical Symptoms
    SOWS
     High temperature
     Depression
     Loss of appetite
     Ears, nose and tail congestion (septicemia)
     Pneumonia
     Coughing
     Nervous signs
     Smelly diarrhea (sometimes can have blood
    and mucus)
     Death
    Clinical Symptoms
    LACTATING PIGLETS
     The disease is not frequent in piglets due to
    the passive immunity of colostrum

    WEANERS AND GROWERS


     Same clinical signs in sows
    Prevention and Control
     Improve hygiene by ensuring proper cleaning and
    disinfection (disease is dose dependent)
     Purchase animals (including breeding stock
    replacements) from known negative sources
     Vaccines can be very effective (do have some cross
    protection between S. Choleraesuis and Typhimurium)
     Antibiotics can control disease but will not eliminate
    the pathogen
     Do not use animal fats in diets
     Control rodents
