Causes and prevention of diarrhea in piglets

Piglet diarrhea is one of the most worrying things for pig farmers, because the initial piglets are so fragile that they are easy to die as soon as they occur, and are easy to appear in batches. There are generally four reasons for diarrhea. Let's learn about these four causes and some simple prevention and treatment with the pro-agricultural network.

1. Improper management

First of all, it is considered that improper feeding can easily lead to such problems. For example, in the early days, sows do not have enough milk, and the food fed is too serious to meet the nutritional needs of piglets. Or the initial feeding of too much water, piglets lack of digestive capacity, resulting in indigestion, and eventually diarrhea. Sometimes the temperature changes so fast that the temperature imbalance of piglets can also be caused. The impact caused by such a situation is relatively small, can be quickly artificially adjusted back, corresponding to the incidence of the adjustment is good.

2. Viral diarrhea

Such diarrhea is mostly caused by infectious viruses, and viruses such as epidemic diarrhea virus and transmissible gastroenteritis virus are the most common pathogens. After the emergence of piglets in the overall malaise, the number of excretion increased rapidly, all the pictures are water, and finally lead to the dehydration of piglets. And the infectivity of this kind of disease is very strong, we must attach great importance to it.

Prevention and treatment: first isolate the sick piglets, then disinfect the pig pens with diseases, which can be disinfected with lime water or povidone iodine. It is agreed that those who do not suffer from the disease should be vaccinated, and similar emergency immunity such as gastric wheel triple vaccine can be injected according to the disease. Patients with disease can be used with interferon combined with enrofloxacin, dehydration symptoms need oral rehydration, prevention and treatment of casualties.

3. Diarrhea due to bacillary dysentery

Bacterial diarrhea is mostly caused by dysentery bacteria and occurs in newborn piglets. The performance of the disease is more obvious, the feces with stench, and feces with blood will appear, pig buttocks and hind legs will change the color. The piglets don't seem to have any energy and don't eat actively. In severe cases, the tail position will slowly bleed or die directly.

Prevention and treatment: temperature control and sanitary disinfection should be done at the initial stage, and some vaccines should be injected in time. The feces of the pigsty should be cleaned in time to remove the source of infection. The sick pig breeds are isolated first, and then the injection agent is used together with oral medicine. gentamicin is recommended for injection, and dysentery can be used if taken orally.

These are the common causes and prevention of diarrhea in some piglets, and there will also be some causes, such as parasites, which are difficult to occur under fine artificial prevention, so they are not introduced in detail. The dosage of the medicine must be according to the dosage given by the doctor. after all, the dosage varies in different times and in different situations, and do not follow the usage given by those who do not understand.
