Pigs in Brief: A Unique Challenge for Future Vets

Pigs play a crucial role in veterinary medicine, from their unique physiology to their susceptibility to a range of diseases. Understanding porcine diseases like PRRS, Swine Influenza, Mastitis, Gastrointestinal Pathogens, and Zoonotic Diseases is essential for the NAVLE, especially since swine diseases can have profound impacts on both livestock health and public health.

For example, PRRS causes reproductive failure and respiratory distress, resulting in significant economic losses. Swine Influenza, a zoonotic disease, can spread to humans, adding another layer of importance to understanding porcine health. Other diseases like Trichinosis and Salmonella also pose risks to both pigs and humans, further complicating the role of the veterinarian in controlling disease transmission.

Additionally, diseases like Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) and African Swine Fever (ASF) are foreign animal diseases that require strict quarantine and vaccination programs to prevent global outbreaks. These diseases are a critical part of your NAVLE prep because they are important for understanding the global health landscape and how disease management impacts the economy and food supply chains.
