SLIDE 1 Post mortem Records Reinhard Fries FU Berlin, Germany A means of recording of the circumstances during farm stage Most of the following cases are frequently
- bserved in intensively run swine holdings in
the EU. For an appropriate assessment, the following sequence may be followed:
SLIDE 2
- 1. Basics
- Recognition of the lesion
- Denomination of the pathological case
- Association with possible causes leading
to this observation
SLIDE 3
Infection: Entry of an agent into a host Incubation time: Time between infection and the clinical manifestation of the respective disease Disease: The clinical appearance in the host caused by this infection Technopathy: Observation caused by technical equipment or other non-infectious influences from the environment of the animals (herd related)
SLIDE 4
- 3. Assessment
- Having done the necropsy, the
- bservation should be assessed for it’s
possible risks for humans or animals.
- The case studies to be discussed here,
are in the order of this decision tree, which should be used.
SLIDE 5
1.1. Local infection: Complication of a local event
SLIDE 6
Case 34: Lymphnode enlarged indicating action in the local tissue
SLIDE 8
Case 29: Unhygienic Keeping Conditions: Ascaris suum
SLIDE 10
Case 3: Pneumonia Suspected causative agent: APP
SLIDE 11
- Case 4
- Inflammation hind leg
SLIDE 14
Case 7: Pneumonia
SLIDE 16
Case 30: Pericarditis plus enlarged lymphnode
SLIDE 17
Case 30a: Heavy pericarditis
SLIDE 18 Discussion Plucks
- Lungs: Pneumonia/ Pleurisy/
Pericarditis- Complex Herz
- Pericarditis ist vor allem durch
Pneumonie-Erreger bedingt
- Endocarditis andere Erreger als Ursache
hat (S. suis; E. rhusiopathiae)

- 3. Breeding & Genetics with
consequences for the individual lifetime
SLIDE 52
Case 27 M. longissimus dorsi and suspicion of necrosis (PSE syndrome)
SLIDE 53
For discussion
SLIDE 54
- 4. Complication of single
cases
Frequently, certain given circumstances lead to a cascade of reactions: Under the influence
- f (adverse) environments, the animal reacts
and suffers from different aches or other.
SLIDE 55 Note
- Carcass & Organs
- Each site should be observed consciously and
carefully.
- In all, the over all appearance is another
important thing, indicating an „complication“ of a single lesion, e.g.
– nutrition state, – symmetry, – shape
SLIDE 56
- Case 1
- Case 10
- Case 11
- Case 16
- Case 20
- Case 28
SLIDE 57
Case 28: Hind leg & Lymphnodes
SLIDE 58
For discussion
SLIDE 59
- 4. Seizure and taking action as a
consequence
- Carcass or organs pass the inspection or they
are going to be rendered, which depends on local reglement and legislation and which is not discussed here.
- Important is an understanding of the lesion and
the learning the reaction cascade. Only then, preventive measures may be taken.
- With regard to the individual, any observation
should be recorded as an indicator for the status
- f the group from “this farm of origin”.
