Abstract

The presence of gastrointestinal parasites can inhibit the growth of weaning-phase pigs. In addition, gastrointestinal parasites can make pigs more susceptible to other pathogens and even cause death. This case report discusses the co-infection of severe trichuriosis and coccidiosis with secondary Escherichia coli infection in a Duroc weaner pig. Data were collected through anamnesis, epidemiological studies, clinical signs, anatomical pathology and histopathological examinations, and bacteriology and parasitology laboratory examinations. The case animal is a male Duroc pig, 2.5 months old, originating from Sulahan village, Susut sub-district, Bangli regency, Bali. The clinical signs observed were diarrhea with dark feces and decreased appetite. On anatomical pathology examination, 2329 adult Trichuris suis worms were found in the cecum and colon. Changes in the organs included wounds and hemorrhage in the cecum and colon, hemorrhage in the stomach and small intestine, and a singular white spot found on the uneven-colored liver. Histopathological examination showed enteritis hemorrhagis et necroticans, colitis necroticans verminosa, gastritis necroticans, and hepatitis necroticans. Bacteriological examination identified Escherichia coli in the intestine and liver specimens. Qualitative examination of feces revealed T. suis eggs and Eimeria spp. oocysts. According to McMaster's calculations, there were 36,200 eggs per gram (EPG) of T. suis and 15,800 oocysts per gram (OPG) of Eimeria spp. Based on all data, along with the results of laboratory examinations, it can be concluded that the pig was infected with severe trichuriosis and coccidiosis with secondary Escherichia coli infection. Pigs that are still alive and are confirmed to be infected with trichuriosis and coccidiosis should be treated.

Abstract

The animal used as case in this report is a pig came from a farm in Perean Village, Baturiti District, Tabanan, Bali. It is a male piglet aged ± 2 months which was reported to have had continuous diarrhea for 6 days. The piglet was also showing symptoms such as emaciation, weakness and anorexia. This case study aims to discuss the anatomical pathology findings, histopathology and laboratory examination results of the piglet which is suspected of being infected with colibacillosis. The examination method consists of collecting data related to epidemiology, necropsy and data on anatomical pathological changes, histopathological preparations and histopathological change lesion findings, culture and identification of bacteria, and identification of parasites. All data results obtained will then be analyzed qualitative descriptively (Dharmayanti, 2022). Necropsy result shows haemorrrhage in almost all organs, along with distension and swelling in the intestines and stomach. Histopathological examination shows bleeding and inflammation in brain, trachea, spleen, and large intestine, as well as inflammation and necrosis in the lungs, heart, kidneys, liver, stomach and small intestine. In the bacteriological examination, the bacterial agent E. coli was successfully isolated from heart and lungs. While the parasitological examination did not reveal any parasitic agents involved. Based on series of examinations that had been carried out, it is concluded that the piglet is infected with colibacillosis. It is recommended to improve sanitation of the cage and surrounding areas in order to further reduce the risk of colibacillosis transmission amongst pigs.

Abstract

Escherichia coli is a coliform bacterium naturally found in the intestines of mammals. However, pathogenic strains, such as Avian Pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC), can cause systemic infections and bacteremia in poultry. Infections by Escherichia coli in broilers lead to economic losses due to decreased production and increased mortality. This case report was conducted under protocol number 1/N/24, using anamnesis, clinical signs, epidemiological data, anatomical pathology, and histopathology observations to diagnose the condition. A 28-day-old white broiler chicken was collected from a closed house farm in Batungsel Village, Pupuan District, Tabanan Regency. Observed signs included lethargy, reduced appetite, an enlarged reddish abdomen, and white diarrhea. After the chicken's death, a necropsy was performed, and organ samples were preserved in 10% Neutral Buffered Formalin (NBF). Samples of the brain, lungs, liver, heart, spleen, kidneys, intestines, bursa, and feces were analyzed in histopathology, bacteriology, and parasitology laboratories. Histopathological preparations were stained with hematoxylin and eosin for microscopic examination. Bacterial infection tests included culturing samples from the intestines, liver, lungs, and heart on general, selective-differential, and Blood Agar media, followed by primary and secondary tests. The presence of Escherichia coli and Shigella sp. was confirmed. Parasite examinations using the flotation method showed no worm eggs or coccidia. These findings confirmed that the chicken was infected with Escherichia coli and Shigella sp.To prevent such infections, maintaining clean and sanitized housing is essential. Strict biosecurity measures are crucial to prevent external bacterial contamination. With good management practices, broiler chicken health can be optimally maintained.
