The main characteristic of swine herds in the territory of the Republic of Serbia (Yugoslavia) is an unsatisfactory health status accompanied by increased incidence of contagious parasitic, genetic and other diseases. All this is a consequence of long-term unfavourable production conditions. The health status of swine production in our country are mostly determined by the presence of swine plaque, but also diseases of pluricausal character, such as coli infections, actinobacillosis, atrophic rhinitis, dysentery, and others. One must also not forget the presence of diseases which can be maintained in herds for a long time as enzootic diseases (Aujeszkyi, leptospirosis, tuberculosis, etc.). Among parasitic diseases, trichinellosis deserves special attention since it endangers the health of humans more and more evey day. Most of the mentioned diseases are exibited in very different clinical forms, so that their timely detection is very difficult and their control complex. In conditions where there are many diseases of different etiology, their control is complex and consequences always connected to a reduction or complete annulment of the expected benefits from an animal of high genetic potential, veterinary-medical protection must cede its place to health protection as a technology which is based on a policy of disease prevention.
