Abstract

A new, primarily endogenous syndrome affecting pigs from birth to fattening is associated with inflammation and necrosis of the tail, ears, teats, coronary band, heels, and claws. This disease negatively impacts the health, performance, and welfare of the animals. The present study aimed to determine the prevalence of the syndrome in typical herds in France and to investigate the associations between SINS, age and sex of the piglets and parameters of reproductive performance of the herds. Data from 2377 suckling piglets aged 1 to 4 days from 16 French farms were evaluated. SINS signs were found in 85.5% of the piglets. There were striking differences between farms, ranging from 68.5% to 95.6% affected piglets. The heels and coronary bands were the most commonly affected areas, at 61.4% and 58.6%, respectively. Alterations at the tail, ears, face, or teats were observed in 46% of the piglets. At least 3 body parts were affected per litter, and all examined body parts were affected on farms. The number of piglets born was significantly reduced in SINS. Screening was easy to implement and required only reasonable time management. It was also integrated into the zootechnical measures on the farms. The SINS lesion scoring system for piglets at birth appears to be a relevant indicator of animal health and welfare, as well as farm economic efficiency.

法国猪群中猪炎症和坏死综合征(SINS)的流行及其后果。
一种影响猪从出生到育肥的新的主要内源性综合征与尾巴、耳朵、乳头、冠状动脉带、脚跟和爪子的炎症和坏死有关。这种疾病对动物的健康、生产性能和福利产生负面影响。本研究旨在确定该综合征在法国典型猪群中的患病率,并调查SINS与仔猪年龄和性别以及猪群繁殖性能参数之间的关系。对来自法国16个农场的2377头1 ~ 4日龄哺乳仔猪的数据进行了评价。85.5%的仔猪出现SINS征象。猪场之间的差异显著,感染仔猪的比例从68.5%到95.6%不等。鞋跟和冠状动脉束是最常见的受累部位,分别占61.4%和58.6%。在46%的仔猪中观察到尾巴、耳朵、面部或乳头的改变。每窝至少有3个身体部位受到影响,所有被检查的身体部位都在农场受到影响。SINS显著降低了仔猪的出生数量。筛选容易实施,只需要合理的时间管理。它也被整合到农场的动物技术措施中。仔猪出生时的SINS损伤评分系统似乎是动物健康和福利以及农场经济效率的相关指标。
