Abstract

Gastric ulcerations in pigs are a pathology linked with nutritional, genetic and management factors. The stomach condition is generally scored using the classification proposed by Robertson et al. in 2002 which implies a 4 classes classification (0=no lesions, 1=parakeratosis, 2=mild ulceration, 3=severe and haemorrhagic lesions).
