Abstract

Swine proliferative enteropathy causes huge damage to the pig industry. Treatment and prevention of this disease are usually done with many types and concentration of antimicrobials, which may end up causing doubt to the veterinarian when choosing treatment. Furthermore, the indiscriminate use of antibiotics has caused concern about the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria and its impact on public health. More recently, vaccines against this disease begin to be used and showed to be effective in reducing clinical signs, increasing weight gain and reducing antibiotic use. However, they do not prevent disease and clinical signs. Thus, the aim of this review was to bring a survey of studies that tested various antibiotics for treatment and prevention of swine proliferative enteropathy, as well as to show alternatives that may be complementary to the use of antimicrobials.
