Abstract

Thoracic ultrasonography has been increasingly utilized as a diagnostic tool in human and veterinary medicine. However, limited data are currently available about its field application in pigs. The present study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of thoracic ultrasonography in pigs affected by enzootic pneumonia-like lesions. Following technique verification on cadavers, ultrasound investigations were performed on the thorax of healthy and diseased live pigs to assess lungs. Overall, results indicated that ultrasonography was effective to discriminate between healthy and diseased lungs, with enzootic pneumonia-like lesions showing an easily recognizable ultrasonographic pattern. Thoracic ultrasonography could contribute to better manage porcine respiratory diseases.

地方性肺炎样病变:超声与野外条件下病理表现

胸部超声已经越来越多地被用作人类和兽医的诊断工具。然而，目前可获得的关于其在猪中的现场应用的数据有限。本研究旨在评估胸部超声检查在感染地方性肺炎样病变的猪中的可行性。在尸体上进行技术验证后，对健康和患病的生猪的胸部进行超声检查，以评估肺部。总的来说，结果表明超声检查可以有效地区分健康和患病的肺部，地方源性肺炎样病变显示出易于识别的超声模式。胸部超声检查有助于更好地管理猪的呼吸道疾病。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Swine Health & Production (JSHAP) is an open-access and peer-reviewed journal published by the American Association of Swine Veterinarians (AASV) since 1993. The aim of the journal is the timely publication of peer-reviewed papers with a scope that encompasses the many domains of applied swine health and production, including the diagnosis, treatment, management, prevention and eradication of swine diseases, welfare & behavior, nutrition, public health, epidemiology, food safety, biosecurity, pharmaceuticals, antimicrobial use and resistance, reproduction, growth, systems flow, economics, and facility design. The journal provides a platform for researchers, veterinary practitioners, academics, and students to share their work with an international audience. The journal publishes information that contains an applied and practical focus and presents scientific information that is accessible to the busy veterinary practitioner as well as to the research and academic community. Hence, manuscripts with an applied focus are considered for publication, and the journal publishes original research, brief communications, case reports/series, literature reviews, commentaries, diagnostic notes, production tools, and practice tips. All manuscripts submitted to the Journal of Swine Health & Production are peer-reviewed.
