Atrophic rhinitis cuts
GEORGETOWN, Del.
A recent survey of six
hog farms on the
Eastern Shore showed
that five of them had the
disease known as
atrophic rhinitis.
Incidence of this
disease may run as high
as 75 percent nationally.
It is characterized by a
wasting away of the tiny
scroll-shaped bones in
the nostril of the pig.
These bones are
covered with mucuous
membrances that help
filter incoming air.
When these filters are
removed, the pig
becomes very
susceptible to
respiratory illness,
including pneumonia.
Mortality from
atrophic rhinitis is very
low. But losses can
occur from slow growth
and poor feed efficiency
in infected pigs, warns
University of Delaware
extension livestock
specialist Richard
Fowler.
Two strains of bac
teria are the principle
causes of the disease.
But other factors in
cluding gases resulting
from poor en
vironmental manage
ment, secondary in
vaders such as
pneumonia-causing or
ganisms, or internal
parasites may add to
the severity of the
problem.
The organism lives
and multiples in the
respiratory tract. When
exposed to the sun it
can’t survive longer
than four to five weeks.
But it may survive in
the shade for up to four
months.
All the common
disinfectants are ef
fective against it if they
come in contact with it.
Atrophic rhinitis is
spread in three ways,
says Fowler. (1) An
infected sow can spread
it to her litter shortly
after birth. (2)
Spreading can occur
through the air in
farrowing houses and
nurseries. (3) Or cats,
dogs and rodents can
spread the organism to
non-mf ected swine.
Producers often ask
how they can recognize
the disease. Sneezing is

the most common sign,
with excessive tearing
on the face below the
eye.
A nasal discharge
may contain blood in
severe cases. The nose
may become twisted,
shortened or crooked.
Some growers check a
sample of their pigs
post-mortem exam or
slaughter check. To do
this cut the nose at the
second pre-molar tooth.
It may be possible to
isolate the bacteria in
cultures taken from the
nasal cavity.
