Article Synopsis
- In Italy, intensive pig farms face challenges with parasitic diseases, which often go unnoticed but still impact animal welfare and economic stability.
- A study analyzed 880 fecal samples from pigs in northern Italy, revealing a 10.8% prevalence of parasites, with Ascaris suum being the most common.
- The research found that larger farms using an all-in/all-out management system had a lower risk of nematode infections, highlighting the need for targeted strategies to reduce parasite impacts on pig health and productivity.
