Kyphosis and lordosis: possible link to nutrition
In September 2008 two 600 sow birth to bacon units reported an increase of ”humpy-backs” from 6 – 8 weeks of age and lameness from 6 weeks of age during the previous 5 months. There was no response to antibiotic treatment. Farm B re-stocked from Farm A. Both units are closed to outside pig introductions other than semen. Both units are negative to major pathogens other than Porcine Circovirosis and Mulberry Heart Disease.
