Mange detection.
Pig Progress, June 2003: 10
A serological test will be available commercially late in 2003 to detect the presence of antibodies to mange mites in young pigs and/or pigs sent to slaughter. The new test is both highly specific and highly sensitive. It would be used on serum samples obtained from growing pigs on the farm, or from samples collected at the time of slaughter. Tests would have to be repeated over a period of at least 12 months in order to certify a herd as mange-free. With an eradication program in place, all new pigs entering the herd would have to be quarantined before any contact with the herd was allowed.
