Atrophic rhinitis (AR) is a disease which causes economic loss to the pig breeding industry in the Netherlands. Prospective studies were done to detect AR at the slaughter line. Longitudinal sections of nasal cavities, made and inspected at the slaughter line, were compared with transverse ones made at a later stage. By close visual inspection and using a 5 grade-system, atrophy of the turbinate bones, ranging from mild to severe, could be detected. However, when a speed slaughter line was used, it was hard to differentiate between normal and mild atrophy of the turbinate bones.
prevalence and severity of AR as observed on inspection of the longitudinal nasal cavity section at the slaughter line could be valuable in integrated surveillance of the animal and meat production chain.
萎缩性鼻炎（AR）是一种给荷兰养猪业造成经济损失的疾病。开展了前瞻性研究以在屠宰线上检测AR。在屠宰线上制作并检查的鼻腔纵切面与后期制作的横切面进行了比较。通过仔细目视检查并使用五级系统，可以检测到从轻度到重度的鼻甲萎缩。然而，当使用快速屠宰线时，很难区分鼻甲的正常萎缩和轻度萎缩。
在屠宰线上检查鼻腔纵切面时观察到的AR患病率和严重程度，对于动物和肉类生产链的综合监测可能具有重要价值。
