- Expertise video
Cough is a common symptom of finishers. Nowadays, real-time technology is available for pig cough recognition as part of a precision livestock farming system1,2. However, once cough is recognized in the field, there is a need for a better understanding of its concurrent impact on growth performance. Therefore, the objective of this study was to compare and quantify the impact in daily growth (ADGW) of disease-coughing outbreaks occurring in a finishing batch of pigs under commercial conditions.
