The incidence of swine fever, swine erysipelas and porcine lung disease are collectively referred to as the three major infectious diseases of pigs. In China, the total mortality rate of infected pigs accounts for about 8% of the total, and the mortality rate of pigs in areas with better prevention and control is also 5%.
