List of diseases in pigs

Pigs, like all farm animals, are susceptible to a wide range of diseases. These diseases can be caused by bacterial, viral, parasitic, or fungal infections, as well as metabolic disorders and unfavorable living conditions. Gastrointestinal diseases account for the majority of swine pathologies, accounting for up to 80% of all cases. Below is a summary list of the main diseases by etiologic group.

Many swine diseases have similar clinical signs. For example, classical swine fever must be differentiated from African swine fever, pasteurellosis, Aujeszky's disease, and listeriosis. Laboratory methods, including PCR diagnostics, are used to establish an accurate diagnosis. These methods identify pathogens such as PRRS, ASF, CSF, Aujeszky's disease, influenza, salmonellosis, and many others. Timely and accurate diagnosis is the basis for effective prevention and treatment of swine diseases.
