What are the symptoms of sow heatstroke?

Recently, the weather is hot and the temperature has been kept at a relatively high level. apart from human heatstroke, there are also cases of heatstroke in farmed sows. What are the symptoms of heatstroke in the sow? What should I do?

What are the symptoms of sow heatstroke?

Sows with heatstroke will have shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat, elevated body temperature, weakness of limbs, walking and swaying; conjunctival congestion, mental depression, lack of appetite, appetite, often vomiting. In severe cases, the body temperature rises to more than 42 ℃, which will lead to death if not treated in time.

What about sow heatstroke?

When a pig has heatstroke, the affected pig should be moved to a cool place as soon as possible, its head and chest should be watered with cold water, cold saline enema should be used if necessary, and 3 mg chlorpromazine per kilogram of body weight should be injected intramuscularly. For those with serious illness, 0.5 to 2 grams of sodium benzoate caffeine can be injected into each head. In addition, the following prevention work should also be done:

1. Adding baking soda to feed can help pigs dissipate heat. Adding VC soluble powder to drinking water or feed can clear heat and relieve summer heat, enhance the body's ability to adapt to high temperature, and help pigs resist heat stress.

two。 A soft plastic water pipe with a diameter of 2-3 cm is used to run through the other end of the pig house from one end above the pigsty, and the middle is supported and fixed by iron wire and iron frame. the pipe wall can be pierced all over the small hole with a coarse injection needle, and the water pipe is connected to the pressurized tap. In the high temperature season, once every 3 hours, each time for 30 minutes, the small water column evenly erupts to form a fog, which makes the air in the pig body, the ground and the pen slightly moist and cooled slowly. If you insist on using it, you will see that the pig body is clean and shiny, the ground is clean, and there is little dust in the air. After spraying, the pig appetite is exuberant, and the hottest time at noon can lie down quietly.

3. A disinfection pool is set up at the entrance of the pig farm and pig house, and the disinfection solution is put into the pig farm and pig house to disinfect the vehicles and foreign personnel entering the pig farm and pig house. The disinfection solution in the disinfection pool should be changed regularly to ensure the disinfection effect.

After spraying the ground with disinfectant, clean the floor thoroughly, disinfect the removed dirt according to feces, and then spray the ceiling, walls, fence, doors and windows, feeding trough, floor, utensils and doorway floor evenly with disinfectant. In addition, the breeding staff should change their clothes when they go to work, and then enter the field after ultraviolet disinfection in the disinfection room. hand contact with pigs is the main vector of disease transmission, so they should often wash their hands with disinfectant.

In order to prevent heatstroke in sows in high temperature season, we should first do a good job of heat prevention and cooling, including watering and exhaust, etc.; secondly, disinfection and extermination work is also indispensable.
