- This is a sporadic condition that is most often seen when the cyclical pig industry is in an economic trough.
- It is associated with, but not caused by, Oesophagostomum.
- It is primarily a nutritional problem leading to the following sequence of events:
- if quantity of feed offered is inadequate for batch-fed sows, hungry individuals are more vulnerable to infection and likely to eat bedding (and infective larvae)
- acquire large worm burdens
- intestinal damage and large numbers of eggs excreted
- larger numbers of L3 in bedding
- downward spiral: more and more intestinal damage
- excessive loss of weight during lactation
- the thin sow syndrome.
