Prevention and treatment of emaciation syndrome in sows with emaciated coat and rough muscle atrophy

Sow emaciation syndrome, also known as nutritional exhaustion, is a metabolic disease caused by insufficient feed nutrition or increased energy consumption, resulting in physical loss and decreased metabolic level. The disease is characterized by disorder of energy metabolism in sows, which leads to accelerated decomposition of stored fat, protein and glycogen in the body, resulting in serious depletion, resulting in malnutrition and muscle atrophy in sows.

Sow

1. Etiology: low nutritional level of feeding, so that sows nutrition supply exceeds demand. Especially under the condition of large-scale breeding, in order to speed up reproduction, measures such as early weaning and rapid rematch are often taken, so that the burden of pregnancy and litter sows is too heavy, the weight can not be recovered, and then more and more thin, or even lying on the ground can not afford. In addition, when raised in large groups, timid sows are underfed for a long time, have been in a state of hunger, and are prone to emaciation syndrome. There are also sows suffering from chronic consumptive diseases, such as parasitic diseases, chronic digestive disorders or certain infectious diseases.

two。 Clinical symptoms: progressive emaciation, rough coat, protruding bones; dry, dandruff, reduced elasticity; pale or reddish mucous membrane, some jaundice; systemic skeletal muscle atrophy, decreased muscle bond tension, weak standing, or lying on the ground; no change in appetite and drinking appetite, normal body temperature; sick pigs are prone to fatigue, forced exercise, faster breathing, sometimes wheezing, pulse growth.

3. Prevention and treatment measures: for extremely exhausted sows, in addition to strengthening feeding and replenishing high-energy feed, they can also be injected intravenously with 10% glucose 300-500ml, vitamin B15-40ml, intramuscular injection of vitamin C5-10ml, and subcutaneous injection of 3-5ml of oxidized camphor. The more expensive sows can also be treated with adenosine triphosphate 50-100mg intramuscularly for 7 days. You can also add an appropriate amount of artificial salt and yeast slices to the feed. When raising in large groups, when it is found that there are timid sows, they should be separated in time and raised in one circle. For late pregnancy and lactation sows, especially for rapid recombination and early weaning sows, nutrition should be supplemented in time to meet the needs of various nutrients for sows. Regularly deworming sows. It is found that pigs suffering from chronic consumptive diseases should take corresponding treatment measures in time.
