| Introduction Post-weaning diarrhoea (PWD) is a multi-factorial disease. Clinical symptoms are often linked to a combination of different factors such as specific pathogens, low feed intake after weaning, low hygiene, low age at weaning, low piglet live weight at weaning, and a high number of piglets per pen (Madec et al., 1998). Although organically reared piglets are, in general, six weeks of age at weaning, and are kept with a high space allowance, post-weaning diarrhoea is a severe problem in organic pig production (Bonde & Sörensen, 2006; Sundrum et al., 2010). Due to restrictions in the use of antibiotics in organic livestock production, there is a need to focus primarily on the implementation of preventive measures. When health problems are... |

| Introduction Organic pig production is still a small-scale produc-tion, achieving, however, increased interest by con-sumers who are concerned about the conventional production method. The EU-Regulation (EEC-No. 1804/1999) on organic livestock production, now replaced by EEC-No 834/2007, was introduced to provide a framework ensuring living conditions for organic livestock to be better than those in conven-tional systems and to harmonize the rules across member states. Scientifically based information on how and to what degree the EU-Regulation contrib¬utes to the objective of a high status of pig health in organic farming is scarce. Further information is needed to assess whether consumer expectations in organic pig production in Europe are met.... |

| Productive performance of organic pig farms is lower compared to conventional farms, but only very few data exist. Better knowledge of the productivity of organic herds regarding litter size at birth, piglet losses around birth and during lactation, as well as housing and management conditions should help to identify critical points and hence to improve the situation. Therefore, a research project was initiated in 6 EU countries (Corepig). As part of this, farmers recorded production data during 3-11 months starting between January and July 2008. Farmers were asked to record the numbers of piglets born dead, born alive as well as the number of piglets at weaning. Taking into account the quality of the records and setting a threshold of ≥ 10 litters/farm,... |

| Interviews and on-farm assessments were conducted in a total of 101 organic pig farms in different European countries (Austria, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, and Sweden) to gain knowledge about farm management and health status of organic pigs in Europe. 66 farms kept at least one age group outdoors while 35 farms kept their pigs exclusively indoors, for the most part with a concrete outside run. Housing and feeding conditions were characterised by a large heterogeneity within and between European countries. On many farms, the feeding regimes seemed suboptimal, leaving ample room for easily feasible improvements. With respect to the health management, some farms made comprehensive use of the various options, whereas many farmers neglected the... |

| Der Durchfallkomplex der Absetzferkel stellt eine Faktorenkrankheit dar, die einer vielschichtigen Diagnostik zur Identifizierung der betriebsspezifischen Ursachen bedarf. Ein nicht unerheblicher Teil der Diagnosestellung des PWD-Komplexes beruht auf der Kenntnis der vorhandenen Pathogene, die mit dem Krankheitsbild in Verbindung gebracht werden. Ziel dieser Studie war es, die Pathogene sowie deren mögliche Enterotoxine zu identifizieren und mit den Stämmen aus Proben von gesunden Absetzern der gleichen Gruppe zu vergleichen, um Aussagen über deren Bedeutung als ursächliches Agens treffen zu können. Dazu wurden auf 6 ökologisch wirtschaftenden Ferkelerzeugerbetrieben Kottupferproben von klinisch gesunden sowie an Durchfall erkrankten Absetzern entnommen... |

| The objective of the study was to assess the hygienic measures used on organic pig farms and to evaluate their effectiveness in reducing endoparasite infections on 20 organic pig-breeding farms in Germany. Management factors related to helminth infections of the herds were recorded in personal interviews. In total, 382 faecal samples were collected from gestating sows and examined for nematode egg counts per gram of faeces. The majority of the farrowing units (n = 15) were cleaned wet, whereas most of the farmers did not clean the gestation pens at all and if so only mechanically by removing dung. Chemical disinfection was only performed in at most 20% of the farms in farrowing units. Strongylid, Trichuris suis and Ascaris suum eggs were detected in 78.5%,... |
