The question
To ask the Scottish Executive what action it has taken regarding any potential threat to the pig industry posed by Porcine Dermatitis Nephropathy Syndrome and Post-weaning Multi-systemic Wasting Syndrome.
The answer
Veterinary Officers from Animal Health Offices in Scotland have informed local vets about the recent case of Post-weaning Multi-systemic Wasting Syndrome in the North East of Scotland. In addition, professional staff from the State Veterinary Service (SVS) in Scotland have attended a training course on the diseases and their symptoms. This information has been cascaded to other Scottish SVS staff. Thus the awareness of the disease has been increased within the profession.
