| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The objectives of the present study was to construct high-health pig farm by using epidemiological methods. Epidemiological database was developed to collect the production records regarding reproductive, growth and population performance on commercial pig farms. Herd productivity on farms located in south part of Kyusyu was collected by the epidemiological database and quantified. Additionally, the effect of porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) on productivity was assessed and the results showed the difference of productivity among stage they infected with PED and among management practice against PED outbreak.
