Local methods for the treatment of sow paralysis

Sow paralysis can be treated with sodium sulfate or magnesium sulfate laxative enema, removal of feces in the rectum, intravenous injection of 10% calcium gluconate 50-150ml, and massage with straw handle or rough cloth on the skin of diseased pigs to promote the recovery of blood circulation and nervous function.

To treat sow paralysis, we must first understand the cause:

1. The proportion of concentrate in sow diet is too high.

In the pig farms with more roughage, the paralysis of sows rarely occurs before and after giving birth, which indicates that the paralysis of sows is closely related to the proportion of roughage in the diet.

two。 Lack of calcium and phosphorus in sow diet

When the dietary calcium and phosphorus is insufficient, the sows will misappropriate the calcium and phosphorus in the bones before and after giving birth. Over time, it will lead to calcium and phosphorus deficiency in sows, especially in high-yielding sows, which is more likely to occur. 20 days after giving birth, when the milk yield of sows reached the peak, most of the disease tended to be serious.

3. The proportion of cereals and legumes in concentrate is too large.

Most of the phosphorus in cereals and legumes exists in the form of phytic acid phosphorus, which is not only not easy to be used by pigs, but also hinders the absorption of calcium, resulting in a serious shortage of calcium and phosphorus in pig tissues, resulting in paralysis.

In addition to treatment, prevention is more important:

1. Rational collocation of feed and balanced nutrition

According to sow feeding standards, it is necessary to make full use of local natural resources, feed green feed or high-quality hay powder as much as possible, and supplement mineral feed and additives.

two。 Different stages and different treatment

For sows during pregnancy and lactation, each sow can be fed 20 grams of high-quality bone meal and 20 grams of salt per day. If there is no bone meal, you can appropriately increase the proportion of feed with more phosphorus such as wheat bran and rice bran, and feed green roughage with more calcium, such as sweet potato vine.

3. Treatment

For sick pigs, symptomatic treatment should be carried out as soon as possible. Pig bones or other fresh livestock and poultry bones can be used after treatment similar to Gymboree microbial starter, dried and crushed, mixed into the feed to feed pigs, each can be fed about 30 grams a day.

For sows paralysis, or to prevent paralysis, farmers need to have a wealth of experience to deal with. Otherwise, there will be other adverse consequences.
