The diagnosis of enteric disorders in pigs is extremely challenging, at any age. Outbreaks of enteric disease in pigs are frequently multifactorial and multiple microorganisms can co-exist and interact. Furthermore, several pathogens, such as type A, Rotavirus and , may be present in the gut in the absence of clinical signs. Thus, diagnosis must be based on a differential approach in order to develop a tailored control strategy, considering that treatment and control programs for enteric diseases are pathogen-specific. Correct sampling for laboratory analyses is fundamental for the diagnostic work-up of enteric disease in pigs. For example, histology is the diagnostic gold standard for several enteric disorders, and sampling must ensure the collection of representative and optimal intestinal samples. The aim of this paper is to focus on the diagnostic approach, from sampling to the aetiological diagnosis, of enteric disorders in pigs due to different pathogens during the different phases of production.
无论猪处于何种年龄，诊断其肠道疾病都极具挑战性。猪群中肠道疾病的爆发通常是多因素的，多种微生物可能共存并相互作用。此外，一些病原体，如A型轮状病毒等，可能在猪只肠道中存在但不表现出临床症状。因此，诊断必须基于鉴别诊断方法，以便制定针对性的控制策略，因为肠道疾病的治疗和控制方案是针对特定病原体的。正确采集样本用于实验室分析是猪肠道疾病诊断检查的基础。例如，组织学是几种肠道疾病的诊断金标准，采样必须确保收集到具有代表性和最佳的肠道样本。本文旨在聚焦于猪在不同生产阶段因不同病原体导致的肠道疾病从采样到病因诊断的诊断方法。
