Features: Based on the revision and supplementation of "Clinical Differentiation of Common Pig Diseases," this book breaks down disciplinary boundaries. It categorizes pig diseases (including some new ones) beyond traditional classifications (internal medicine, surgery, obstetrics, infectious diseases, parasitic diseases) by grouping diseases with similar main clinical symptoms. 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. Each chapter details the causes, clinical symptoms, pathological changes, diagnostic key points, differential diagnosis, and prevention and control measures of the diseases. For differential diagnosis, it not only lists major similar symptoms for each disease but also distinguishes them from clinical symptoms, pathological changes, and laboratory diagnoses. Additionally, each chapter includes a section at the end listing pig diseases with similar symptoms. For prevention and control measures, it extensively collects data for reference. This book holds strong practical application value and reference significance for grassroots veterinarians with years of clinical experience but lacking systematic theoretical learning, as well as for veterinarians who have recently graduated and are starting clinical work.
