In a six-month-old white pig, crossbreed of Polish meat pigs of a 110 kg body weight, from a small farm, clinical signs of back muscles necrosis have appeared. The lesions developed after 3 hours since the ocurrence of such stress factors as the slaughter of one pig in close proximity to the piggery and transport of the pig into a smaller and worse lit room. After 14 days of a typical treatment including corticoids ,cardiac and analgesis drugs, clinical symptoms of the disease disappeared. The pig was slaughtered after 4 months (body weight about 200 kg). Post slaughter examinations showed a significant decrease of the longissimus dorsi muscle of the left half carcass and necrotic lesions in the anterior part of this muscle on a 20 cm length. Histopathological examinations showed in the affected part of the m. longissimus necrotic foci with disrupted and disappearing muscular fibres, together with an associated resorptive reaction (infiltration of micro- and macrophages), and an advanced development of granular tissue which after cicatrication were filled up by decrements of muscular fibres.
