From: The effects of boar on susceptibility to swine inflammation and necrosis syndrome in piglets
Cumulative percentage of three-day-old suckling piglets with clinical signs of inflammation and necrosis. a At the tail base. Percentages for the loss of bristles, swelling, redness, exudation and necrosis are given beside the stacked columns. DU: average for offspring of four Duroc boars. PI: offspring of Pietrain boars; L: offspring with least SINS signs (offspring from one boar, number 25); A: average of all Pietrain offspring; H: offspring with highest grades of SINS signs (one boar, number 8). b At the tail tip (complete tail without tail base). Percentages of piglets with swelling, slough, rhagades, exudation, bleeding and necrosis are shown beside the stacked columns. DU: average for offspring of four Duroc boars. PI: offspring of Pietrain boars; L: offspring with least SINS signs (offspring from one boar, number 25); A: average of all Pietrain offspring; H: offspring with highest grades of SINS signs (one boar, number 8). c At the ears. Percentages of piglets with lost bristles, vein combustions and necrosis are shown beside the stacked columns. DU: average for offspring of four Duroc boars. PI: offspring of Pietrain boars; L: offspring with least SINS signs (offspring from one boar, number 25); A: average of all Pietrain offspring; H: offspring with highest grades of SINS signs (one boar, number 8). d At the face. Percentages of piglets with eyelid oedema and nose oedema are shown beside the stacked columns. DU: average for offspring of four Duroc boars. PI: offspring of Pietrain boars; L: offspring with least SINS signs (offspring from one boar, number 25); A: average of all Pietrain offspring; H: offspring with highest grades of SINS signs (one boar, number 8). e At the teats. Percentages of piglets with swelling, redness, slough, necrosis and venous combustions are shown beside the stacked columns. DU: average for offspring of four Duroc boars. PI: offspring of Pietrain boars; L: offspring with least SINS signs (offspring from one boar, number 25); A: average of all Pietrain offspring; H: offspring with highest grades of SINS signs (one boar, number 8). f At the claws.
