Coccidiosis in T x D pigs in an organized farm- case study

Asit Chakrabarti and Pankaj Kumar

On a routine observation in an organized farm found that seven T x D piglets of 2 month age with 18 ± 1.14 kg body weights were suffering from watery diarrhoea and little blood in faeces. The symptoms, clinical findings and faecal sample examination confirmed that the piglets were affected with coccidiosis. After 5 days treatment with coccidiostat and fluid therapy the piglets were recovered gradually and started normal feeding on 7th day onwards. However, one animal died on 5th day. Post-mortem examination of diseased animal also confirmed presence of Eimeria species in intestine. To develop immunity colostrum feeding in early age is essential for piglets. The hygiene, sanitation, regular cleaning and fly control in shed may prevent coccidiosis in pigs.
