Necropsy findings of 1041 fattening pigs, during the period of 1979-1989 are presented. The pigs originated from one veterinary practice association. Enterotoxicosis associated with E. coli serotype O149:K91:K88 was the most prevalent diagnosis, followed by fibrinous pleuropneumonia due to Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae. A decrease was noticed for Aujeszky disease during the late years. After 1985 an increase was found for torsio mesenterialis. In 1.7% of the cases no post mortem diagnosis could be made.
