History

An approximately 2-month-old 31.8-kg (70-lb) castrated male feeder pig that died was submitted for necropsy examination at the Diagnostic Center for Population and Animal Health at Michigan State University. The pig was raised on a farm for which porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV-2) infection had been reported in the 2 years before the pig's death; pigs on the farm had received appropriate vaccines since that time. Recently, a group of feeder pigs became ill; the producer suggested the illness was possibly due to heat stress.

Gross Findings

The pig was in fair nutritional condition (body condition score, 2 [scale,
