Question
- avery is at the state fair enjoying a tour of the livestock building. she sees a little pig in one stall. he is so cute, although avery notices that his snout is crooked. she believes this makes him even more special. little does avery know, but this pigs crooked snout is a clue about his history. which statement is most likely true of this little pig? he once had pseudorabies but has recovered. he contracted swine fever, which disfigured his snout. his mother had pseudorabies, causing his deformity. his mother had swine pox and it altered his genes.
Brief Explanations
Pseudorabies in a sow can cause congenital defects in piglets. Swine fever typically affects the overall health rather than specifically causing a crooked - snout deformity. There is no strong link between swine pox and a crooked snout. If the pig had pseudorabies and recovered, it is less likely to have a permanent snout deformity as a main sign. So the most likely cause of the pig's crooked snout is that its mother had pseudorabies.
