Features: The main feature of this book is to break through disciplinary boundaries, setting aside the traditional classification of swine diseases and grouping diseases with similar main clinical symptoms together. It is divided into ten chapters: High Temperature and Skin Changes, Neurological Abnormalities, Digestive Abnormalities, Respiratory Abnormalities, External Abnormalities, Limb Movement Abnormalities, Urinary Abnormalities, Sow Diseases, Piglet Diseases, and Boar Diseases. It introduces 200 common clinical swine diseases, providing detailed explanations of the causes, clinical symptoms, pathological changes, diagnostic key points, differential diagnosis, and prevention and control measures for each disease. For differential diagnosis, it not only lists some major similar symptoms for each disease but also distinguishes them from each other based on clinical symptoms, pathological changes, and laboratory diagnostics. Additionally, it includes a section at the end of each chapter listing some swine diseases with similar symptoms to those in the chapter. For prevention and control measures, it extensively collects data for reference. This book holds strong practical application value and reference value for grassroots veterinarians with years of clinical experience but lacking systematic theoretical learning, or for veterinarians who have recently graduated and are starting clinical work.
