Gastric hypercheratosis

Where:

Possible causes: Gastric ulcers

Focal rough and raised plaque around the cardial area. The tissue is harder than usual with a yellowish discolouration likely due to bile staining. During opening of the stomach no food remains were observed.

This was an occasional finding in a pig of 30-32 kg of weight. No clinical signs nor changes in feed consumption were observed in the herd.

This finding is more frequently observed in growing-finishing pigs.
