Estudio retrospectivo de parvovirosis en granja porcícola: reporte de caso.

Abstract

The pig industry has changed sequentially and substantially worldwide over the last few decades, pork consumption has increased compared to beef consumption due to economic and health factors that have been investigated over the last few years; for example according to Osorio, 2010 in the USA the national general inventory of pig herds has been increased, Together with this the diseases have also evolved so that eradication measures have been taken for some such as classical swine fever and control measures in which they cause reproductive failures such as swine parvovirus. In Colombia it is considered one of the most relevant pathologies according to the study done by (Romero A., Villamil L., & Mogollón J., 1995) comments that surveys were carried out in the departments of Antioquia, Valle del Cauca and Cundinamarca where sero-positive reactors between 36% - 66% respectively and a seropositivity per farm of almost 93%, which allows us to demonstrate that this agent is disseminated quickly and easily between the different farms. The porcine parvovirus (A. F. Streck & Truyen, 2020) describes that its appearance was first described in the 1967’s and later years, is known to be a small single-stranded DNA virus without envelope, this infectious agent causes decrease in the conception rate of sows, repetition of jealousy, mummification and presence of stillbirths; all this is reflected in the decrease in the birth rate and rising mortality rate on farms, representing significant economic losses directly affecting producers. The retrospective study as a case report allows us to describe the presentation of reproductive and productive problems that occurred in the Agropecuaria 3E pig farm located in the village of Puentes in the municipality of Ocamonte, Santander in 2022 taking into account the factors of administration and poor management of the farm that allowed the entry of this pathogen.
