Impact of PED in growing pigs

PED impact
• Primarily due to losses in suckling piglets– Mortalities between 50-80%b – Time to recover baseline production of
>10 wksc
• Further impact?– Infected growing pigs: 1-3% mortalityb
– Pigs exposed to PED as piglets that make it to the growing phase?

Objective
• To quantify the impact of PEDv infection in growing pigs by comparing– Mortality– Average daily gain (ADG)– Average daily feed intake (ADFI)– Feed conversion rate (FCR)
in batches exposed/unexposed to the virus

Peek at the results
• Impaired performance of pigs from first PED+ batches compared with PED- pigs– Increased mortality (6-18%)–Decreased ADG (0.07-0.26 lb/day)– Increased FCR (0.3-0.8)

Material and methods
• Screening of productive records to select batches from positive flows– Only nursery/WF batches
• Selection of 33 flows– 11 nursery– 22 WF

• Selection of first PED+ batch within a given flow (“infected” batch)
• Selection of the closest preceding PED- batch from the same flow (“control” batch)– At least 14 days before the infected batch (increase
specificity)– Not more than 4 months before the infected batch

Data analysis
• Pairs of batches - paired non-parametric comparison (Wilcoxon test) of performance records
• Comparison of nursery to WF paired differences (Mann-Whitney test)
![Page 8: Dr. Julio Alverez - Impact of PED in Growing Pigs](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5563250fd8b42a61348b4a8b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Study population• 18 flows fulfilled the inclusion criteria (18 case + 18
control batches)– 4 nursery– 14 WF (double stocking: first stage in growing, ≈60d)
• Average mortality, ADG, ADFI and FCR in the previous four months (before PED) within normal limits
![Page 9: Dr. Julio Alverez - Impact of PED in Growing Pigs](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5563250fd8b42a61348b4a8b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Descriptive results• First PED+ batch change in trends
– Increase in mortality (4.9 to 15.2%)– Decrease in ADG (0.79 to 0.72)– No change in ADFI– Increase in FCR (1.75 to 2.28)

So, as previously mentioned…
• Impaired performance of pigs from first PED+ batches compared with PED- pigs– Increased mortality (6-18%)–Decreased ADG (0.07-0.26 lb/day)– Increased FCR (0.3-0.8)
![Page 13: Dr. Julio Alverez - Impact of PED in Growing Pigs](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5563250fd8b42a61348b4a8b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Conclusions (II)• Caveats of the study
– Reduced dataset – No adjustment by covariates (site)
• However…– Robust trend suggesting a decreased performance of
growing pigs from PED+ batches• Increase in mortality (6-18%... Or more!)• Decrease in ADG, ADFI unaffected Increase in FCR (0.3-0.8)
– Rough numbers: with 0.3$/lb feed from wean to 40 lbs, 0.55 poorer FCR costs approx $0.16/lb gain
• Impact of PEDv goes beyond suckling piglets
