Abstract:
In contemporary industrial pig production, there is a tendency to disregard the animals' biological needs, which has
deleterious consequences for their health and significantly impacts production efficiency. The health of suckling piglets
is a prerequisite for profitable pig production and is contingent on the conditions of their keeping, care, nutrition, and
health control. The control of diseases of infectious etiology on farms can be achieved through the implementation of
prophylactic and therapeutic measures, in addition to heightened oversight of professional services. Viral diseases of the
digestive organs represent a constant threat to pig production. It is a fact that one of the most prevalent health concerns
is the incidence of diarrhea. Diarrhea has been identified as a significant economic and health concern within pig
populations. In the majority of cases, therapy is symptomatic and frequently yields unsatisfactory outcomes.
Vaccination is not a viable option in most cases, and prevention and disease control are limited to implementing animal
hygiene measures. Following the implementation of standard animal hygiene measures on farms, the subsequent step is
to introduce internal and external biosecurity measures. This involves the monitoring of biosecurity indicators. In the
context of our research project, we undertook the monitoring of diseases affecting the digestive organs of pigs from
controlled farms. The objective of the present study was to provide a comprehensive overview of diseases of the
digestive organs of viral etiology.
