Abstract
in English, French

A Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae-negative commercial swine production system broke with enzootic pneumonia at their grow/finish site in southern Manitoba in October, 2003. System responses included feed medication, depopulation, delayed shipment of pigs to the infected site, vaccination of at risk sow herds, and disinfection when grow/finish site depopulation was completed.

Résumé — Procédure entreprise à la suite d’une flambée de pneumonie enzootique chez des porcs à l’engraissement/finition. Un élevage commercial intégré de production exempte de Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae a été atteint de pneumonie enzootique à son site d’engraissement/finition dans le sud du Manitoba en octobre 2003. Les procédures établies comprenaient l’ajout de médicaments à la nourriture, une réduction du nombre d’animaux, un délai dans l’expédition de porcs au site infecté, la vaccination des troupeaux de truies à risques et la désinfection du site d’engraissement/finition après le départ des derniers animaux.
