- Abstract
The article evaluates the performance of Giardia-, Balantidium- and Cryptosporidium-infected pigs in outdoor and indoor systems raised under the same nutritional management programs and geographical area. Waste samples were collected from 17 outdoor and 21 indoor pig production units in Croatia in July and August 2004. Using pretrial serological testing, results revealed that all units were positive for antibodies to Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae while immunofluorescent antibody tests discovered positive titres to Brachyspira hyodsenteriae and Lawsonia intracellularis in all the units.
