Background: Swine enzootic pneumonia (SEP), caused by the bacterium Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, is one of the main respiratorydiseases of pigs. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the frequency of SEP in one farm with an independent production system,low level of technification and high losses in the meat packing plant, based on slaughterhouse, clinical and laboratory monitoring.Materials, Methods & Results: This study consisted of three monitoring steps, divided into 3 periods: P1, P2 and P3. In the first step ofthe study, slaughterhouse reports were analyzed and slaughtering was monitored at one meatpacking plant in Santa Maria, RS, Brazil.The second step of the study started by drawing up a profile of the farm that supplied the pigs to the aforementioned slaughterhouse,after which clinical monitoring was performed on three occasions. The third step of the study (laboratory monitoring) involved collecting lung fragments containing suspected SEP lesions from the meatpacking plant and subjecting them analysis. The average measuredenzootic pneumonia (EP) in P3 was 38.54% (P 0.05) between P1, P2 and P3. As for the mean frequency of pulmonary hepatization (PH), P3 was48.80% higher (P 0.05) between the 3 evaluated periods. On the other hand, in the finishingperiod (FP), the frequency of coughing and sneezing was 37.56% (P < 0.05) higher in P1 than in P3. The frequency of coughing and...
