title: [Strategies for the assurance of health in swine production].
abstract: Healthcontrol in swineproduction has to aspire as a new focus the maintenance or recovery of the healthstatus of sows in order to reduce the prevalence of growth-suppressing sowborne infectious diseases in suckling piglets and in weanlings. Weaned piglets which are free from parasites and agents of enzootie infectious diseases make the basis for rearing fatteners under minimal or without application of remedies and thus for producing uncontaminatet meat. Strategies for care of health in breeding herds must include elements of structural and zootechnical hygiene, of serological and parasitological controls of infections, of a vaccination program for sows and weaned piglets, or prophylactic treatment of MMA and iron deficiency as well as elimination of sows suffering from chronic organic diseases (udder, bladder, claw). The availability of such strategies needs a regional all herds including application combined with a well organized cooperation between veterinarians and producers.
