A complete clinical assessment starts with TPR but should also include observation of posture, gait, appetite, fecal consistency, skin color, and respiratory sounds. Pigs are prey animals that hide illness, so subtle changes in behavior (ear position, tail carriage, social withdrawal) can be more informative than dramatic symptoms. Document everything — patterns across animals and time are often more diagnostic than any single reading.
Elevated temperature (fever): Bacterial infections (erysipelas, Glasser’s disease, salmonellosis), viral infections (PRRS, influenza, ASF), and heat stress. Low temperature (hypothermia): Neonatal chilling, septic shock, or terminal illness. Elevated heart rate: Pain, fever, anemia, dehydration, or cardiac disease. Elevated respiration: Pneumonia (Mycoplasma, Actinobacillus), heat stress, pain, or metabolic acidosis. Any abnormal TPR reading should prompt further investigation, not just treatment of the number.
