Abstract: An effective “Scheme of prevention and control of swine ileitis” has been developed, applicable in
industrial and family pig farms in the country, based on literature data reflecting the results of complex
studies on swine ileitis in Bulgaria and abroad, as well as on a rich own experience. The scheme
has two sections. Section Prevention includes 2 groups of measures: general preventive measures with
13 points and specific preventive measures with 2 points. The Control section includes therapy with
16 points and metaphylaxis by 11 points. The provided measures are general or specific, mandatory or advisable, allowing the choice of the means and methods of application according to the type of farm, the production technology used, the form of the disease and the presence of the necessary antibacterial and other agents.
The results of the controlled application of the scheme in 2 industrial farms, which clearly demonstrate
high clinical, anti-epizootic and economic efficiency, are presented.
