D2-Lancaster Farming, Saturday, June 1,2002
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. A
new study finds agreement
among pork producers, veteri
narians and feed industry repre
sentatives that ileitis is the most
targeted disease on farms today.
The finding confirms an ongo
ing, deep concern about ileitis
and its negative effects on per
formance, mortality and pig
flow.
Part of the reason for ileitis’
number-one ranking may center
on its pervasive nature, as ear
lier studies found 96.2 percent of
U.S. tested herds were positive
for the bacteria causing ileitis
Lawsonia intracellularis. Ileitis
commonly strikes pigs from SO
pounds up to market weight.
Of the 200 participants sur
veyed in the new study, un
derwritten by Elanco Animal
Health, more reported having
current on-farm battles against
ileitis than respiratory disease,
including mycoplasma. This
was also true for salmonella and
hemorrhagic bowel syndrome.
Another finding from the study
showed 86 percent of the
respondents viewed Tylan®
Premix as the best product for
ileitis control. In addition, study
participants rated Tylan highest

Study Reconfirms Ileitis As No. 1 Swine Disease
in overall satisfaction compared
to other products.
Previous studies, which asked
swine veterinarians about ileitis,
may also shed light on why the
industry appears to be unified in
its fight against the disease.
Some of these findings included:
• Ileitis-caused variation
translates into average losses of
$B.ll per head.
• 99.2 percent of veterinari
ans observe increased variation
due to ileitis.
• 80.2 percent of veterinari
ans think ileitis is as bad, or
worse than it was five years ago.
while 14.9 percent say ileitis is
less of a problem.
Dr. Tom Marsteller, swine
technical consultant for Elanco,
says producers can limit the
negative impact of ileitis by im
plementing a comprehensive
herd-health program developed
with cooperation between the
producer, veterinarian and feed
supplier.
For many operations, Dr.
Marsteller recommends the pru
dent use of Tylan Premix in
swine rations at 100 grams per
ton for 21 days for the preven
tion and control of ileitis. He
