The occurrence of marked illthrift in a 70-sow, minimal-disease piggery that was experiencing cases of porcine intestinal adenomatosis (PIA) is reported. The grower pigs in the piggery were used in nutritional studies. Illthrift was so severe in 4 pigs that they were killed prematurely, and extensive lesions of PIA were found in 3. This and other evidence implicated PIA as the cause of the illthrift. The findings indicated that PIA may compromise nutritional experiments, and that its occurrence and importance may be difficult to assess.
