EPIZOOTIC AND PATHOGENIC ASPECTS OF OLLULANOSIS INVASION IN PIGS

Abstract

Ollulanosis in pigs is a poorly understood disease that is quite common on pig farms in some areas; it causes significant damage to health of the animals and adversely affects the economy of animal farms. the influence of worms on the digestibility of the stomach in infected pigs and pathological changes in the liver, kidney, and spleen has been investigated. Ollulanosis infestation causes the development of inflammation in the stomach and other internal organs. Intravital and posthumous diagnosis of ollulanosis is based on a study of gastric mucus. a diagnostic method that enables accurate diagnosis of the intensity and extensiveness of the ollulanosis invasion has been developed.
