Diarrhoea or Scours in Pigs and how the use of FORMI and the new ADDCON 3rd generation products helps in different stages of the disease.
This disease can affect all ages of pig. The key clinical signs include watery faeces, dehydration, wasting, shivering and in worst cases death.
Of all the diseases in the suckling piglet, diarrhoea is the most common and probably the most important.
In some outbreaks it can cause high morbidity and mortality 7-100%. In a good herd, there should be less than 3% of litters at any one
time requiring treatment and piglet mortality from diarrhoea should be less than 0.5%.
