HÉRNIA INGUINAL EM SUÍNOS DE GRANJA: RELATO DE CASO

Abstract

The term inguinal hernia is also used in cases where abdominal contents pass through the inguinal canal, although the most common is a scrotal hernia. The most common factors that cause inguinal hernia in piglets would be genetic, where the condition occurs due to hereditary factors, and environmental factors, involving incorrect handling, trauma, living with other animals in the litter, pressure on the abdomen due to crushing, cold climates and lack of structure in the stalls. During the report it was possible to identify more clearly the causes that favor this condition, the possible errors in the farm's production chain and the surgical intervention to correct the disease.
