Keep in mind that pig raising should observe 10 simple methods to find pig diseases.

Raising pigs

Early identification is the first priority of disease management. This work is carried out by breeders, through seeing, hearing, touching, smelling and other senses to find abnormal animals and distinguish them from normal animals. Clinical examination should be carried out on all pigs every day. For a pig farm with 100 sows, this work takes half an hour a day, while for large pig farms, it is an important day-to-day task that can be divided at the departmental level. How many pig farm managers have arranged enough time for this job?

As long as careful observation, pig disease can be detected early, so as to achieve early prevention and early treatment. The methods are as follows:

1. Look at the eyes. In healthy pigs, their eyes are bright and bright, and it is a sign of illness if they are found to have dark, red and excessive droppings.

2. Look at the skin. Healthy pigs have smooth and round skin and plump muscles, such as rough and inelastic pigskin, with swelling, ulcers, erythema, rotten spots and so on.

3. Look at the coat color. Healthy pigs, the coat color is bright and shiny, if the pig hair is rough, inelastic and messy, it is a sign of illness.

4. Look at the nasal plate. In healthy pigs, the nose plate is wet with sweat balls; if the pig nose plate is dry without sweat beads, and there is a large amount of mucus overflow in the nostrils, it is a sign of illness.

5. Look at the action. Healthy pigs have a constantly wagging tail and can respond quickly and sensitively to external stimuli. Healthy adult pigs are gluttonous and sleep. If you give food, you will come in response. When you are full and sleepy, when a stranger approaches, you will stand up and raise your eyes and keep shaking your tail. If there is a sagging head and tail and other phenomena, it is a sick pig.

6. Look at the neck. In healthy pigs, the head and neck move freely and there is no swelling and stiffness; if the head and neck of the pig is uncomfortable or swollen and stiff, it is a sign of illness.

7. Look at breathing. In healthy pigs, normal breathing is 10-20 times per minute; it is abnormal if abdominal breathing is too fast or too slow.

8. Look at the tail. In healthy pigs, the anus is clean and free of feces; if it is found that the pig anus and its surroundings, or even the tail adhered to thin feces, or anal rectal prolapse or tail prolapse does not move, it is a manifestation of the disease.

9. Look at the posture. Healthy pigs sleep on many sides and breathe with chest and abdomen breathing (depending on the situation, there is also abdominal breathing). If the dog is sitting and breathing with open mouth, it is a sign of illness.

10. Listen to the sound. A healthy pig makes a loud cry; if it is hoarse, it is a sick pig.
