| description | A five-week study on the pathology of condemned livers of 100 pigs comprising 75 porkers and
25 sows at Shah A lam abattoir was conducted. The liver lesions consisted of36 with milk spots, 16 with
perihepatitiS, 12 with abscessations, 11 with cholangiohepatitzs, 8 with cholangitzs, 5 with nodular
hyperplasia, 4 with focal necrosis, 3 with post-necrotic scarring, 2 with liPidoszS and one case each of
cystic bile duct hyperplasia, massive necrosis and hepatocarcinoma. Milk spots due to migration of
Ascaris suum larvae was a major pro blem in porkers (41 %). Fourteen (39%) of the milkspot livers
were severely affected having a 4 + lesion score with all the lobes affected. PerihepatitIs was seen only
in porkers while nodular hyperplasia only in sows. Escherichia coli and Kliebsiella sp. were the
common bacteria Isolated from the abscesses. The possible causes of the lesions are discussed. |
