Mortality associated with gastric ulceration in swine.
On a large swine operation, necropsy revealed that 39 of 146 (27%) pigs during one week in April and 37 of 137 (27%) pigs during one week in June died from hemorrhage due to gastric ulceration. Contributory factors may have been feed withdrawal one day per week and feeding finely ground pellets.
