TI  - The relationship between infectious and non-infectious herd factors with 
      pneumonia at slaughter and productive parameters in fattening pigs.
PG  - 240-6
AB  - This paper explores the relationship between infectious and non-infectious herd 
      factors with the occurrence of pneumonia at slaughter and productive parameters 
      in fattening pigs on 39 fattening herds. A questionnaire was used to obtain 
      environmental and management factors (non-infectious factors). Blood samples and 
      lungs were obtained from 35 pigs in each herd at slaughter. Serological testing 
      was performed for antibodies against three respiratory pathogens (infectious 
      factors): porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), Mycoplasma 
      hyopneumoniae (Mh) and Aujeszky's disease Virus-gE protein (ADV-gE). Lung lesion 
      classifications were catarrhal-purulent bronchopneumonia (CPBP), pleuropneumonia 
      (PLP) and pleuritis. A mean lesion value (MLV) was calculated for each lesion. 
      ANOVA and logistic regression assessed statistical associations among MLV, 
      average daily gain (ADG) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) (dependent variables) 
      with infectious and non-infectious factors (independent variables). Mh 
      vaccination was associated with a significant decrease in CPBP; high Mh 
      seroprevalences was associated with an increased level of CPBP. FCR was 
      negatively related with high seroprevalences for ADV-gE and Mh. No significant 
      associations were seen for ADG.
