title: [The prevention of atrophic rhinitis of swine].
abstract: In a pig breeding unit that for years had been infected with Atrophic Rhinitis, the weaned piglets were divided into four groups. Group 1 (10 weaned piglets) --Their mother was vaccinated with 2 ml Rhinipig i.m. 3 weeks prior to farrowing. --The piglets received 0.2 ml each of Pargenta 50 (= 10 mg Gentamycin) i.m. on the third, fifth and seventh days after birth. --The piglets were fed a food containing 10 ppm Gentamycin-base during the 6 weeks following their weaning. Group 2 (10 weaned piglets) --Their mother was vaccinated with 2 ml Rhinipig i.m. 3 weeks prior to farrowing. --The piglets received 0.2 ml each of Pargenta 50 (= 10 mg Gentamycin) i.m. on the third, fifth and seventh days after birth. Group 3 (10 weaned piglets) --Their mother was vaccinated with 2 ml Rhinipig i.m. 3 weeks prior to farrowing. Group 4 (10 weaned piglets, untreated, experimental control group) After 6 weeks of treatment, Group 1 showed significantly better food conversion and daily weight gain when compared to the other groups.
