Production impact of parasitisms and coccidiosis in swine

The herd health management is of importance in profitableness on swine farms, and their productivity can be improved with removal of pathogens. Surveys carried out in intensive swine units showed that the external and internal parasites in swine could have detrimental impact on production, thus, might result in considerable economic losses. Having assessed the production impact of parasitisms and coccidiosis in swine, the cost-benefit analysis of different antiparasitic treatments becomes possible.1,2
