How should the disease be controlled?
It is essential to establish programs that combine management, hygiene and chemotherapy to reduce the infection pressure of the parasite and minimize the effects of the disease on animals. It is important to note that anticoccidial therapies serve little purpose once the piglets have started scouring. Therefore, metaphylactic treatment should be introduced during the first week of age to prevent the damage to the piglets caused by Isospora suis.
