The results obtained by a number of control measures in 152 cases of atrophic rhinitis in the province of North Brabant in 1975 are reviewed. So-called "elimination of piglets" from the herd for a few weeks and treatment of the newborn piglets in accordance with a fixed scheme are the measures stressed in this regard moreover, when this scheme of treatment is adopted in a contaminated environment, i.e. without any taking over by the authorities, it also offers certain prospects. The method of control widely used in the Netherlands so far (elimination of piglets not followed by a scheme of treatment) was not sufficiently successful.
