Different diseases typically affect piglets at different ages; hence it is important to record the ages at which pigs are noted to be scouring, are treated and die. Many of the causes of scour in sucking piglets will damage or destroy the all-important villi in the small intestine, which are responsible for absorption of nutrients. Loss of these villi will predispose piglets to post-weaning scours because nutrients which should be absorbed in the small intestine can end up feeding the bacteria present in the large intestine, leading to bacterial proliferation there and scour.
