Abstract

Bacterial diseases caused deaths in 84.68 percent of dead pigs recorded in piggeries of Jos Area of Plateau State of the bacterial diseases the most prevalent were colibacillosis, erysipelas, oedema disease, pneumonias and salmonellosis. But deaths in 9.68 percent were due to non-infectious causes. Ascariasis and cysticercosis were the main parasitic diseases. Early treatment of sick swine and improved husbandry and management would have certainly reduced the losses which the pig producers had sustained in consequence of these conditions
