Prevention and Control measures of Respiratory Diseases in Pigs

Many diseases are often encountered when raising pigs, among which respiratory diseases are the most common, such as pneumonia, cough and so on. It can be said that respiratory disease is the most annoying part of the pig breeding process, which will not only affect the pig's fat gain, but also reduce the pig's immunity and lead to other diseases. Respiratory diseases require us to take various prevention and control measures, so what can we do to effectively prevent and cure respiratory diseases? Let's take a look at it with the editor.

1. Strengthen disinfection

When raising pigs, pig houses must be disinfected regularly. Pig house disinfection can reduce the number of pathogens and prevent harm to pigs. There should be a strict plan for the variety, concentration and interval of disinfection, which should be sterilized at least once every 7 days. not only should the piggery be fully disinfected, but also the daily utensils such as food trough and sink should be cleaned up. Clean up the feces in time, do a good job of ventilation in the pig house, and avoid using chemical disinfection as far as possible. Because chemical disinfection will not only have a certain hidden danger to the pigsty, but also have a certain impact on the surrounding environment.

2. Regular deworming

When raising pigs, we will certainly find that there are all kinds of mosquitoes and flies bitten, and there will also be certain parasites. These are very disadvantageous to the growth of pigs, parasites will harm the immune system of pigs, destroy the physiological mechanism of pigs, and reduce the resistance of pigs. It has become the cause of respiratory diseases and increased the incidence of respiratory diseases. most respiratory diseases are caused by pigs exposed to mosquitoes carrying the virus. Therefore, when we raise pigs, we must regularly deworm the pigs to prevent birds and all kinds of poultry from entering the pig house to spread the virus, which will help to reduce the pathogen and reduce the incidence of disease.

3. Monitoring and quarantine

When purchasing breeding pigs, we must pay attention to make sure that they are disease-free and harmless, and do a good job in virus detection and quarantine of breeding pigs, so as to prevent the purchase of breeding pigs with potential diseases. In the process of transportation, we should also pay attention to avoid passing through the areas with high incidence of disease, causing breeding pigs to carry pathogens into pig houses to cause infection. After entering the pig house, the breeding pigs should be isolated from other pigs for observation, and they can grow normally after a period of time, and then they can be raised in groups, and the breeding process should be vaccinated regularly to enhance the resistance of pigs and prevent the loss of benefits caused by disease.

4. Isolate sick pigs

In the course of breeding, we should regularly inspect the pig house and find that sick pigs should be transferred to the sick pig breeding house in time. And the utensils used by the sick pigs and even the breeders should be sterilized, and then the sick pigs should be examined carefully to confirm the symptoms. Carry on the symptomatic treatment, raise it separately for 5-7 days after successful treatment, and then disinfect the whole body before putting it back. If it is an untreatable sick pig, stay away from the pigsty, bury it deeply or burn it, and destroy the pathogen. If there is no timely isolation, the spread of the virus, it will enter an uncontrollable situation.

The above is a brief introduction to the prevention and control measures of respiratory diseases in pigs. Respiratory diseases are very harmful to pigs, even devastating. We must take good preventive measures, otherwise it will have a great impact on our own economic interests. Only by doing a good job of management can we reduce the incidence and improve the resistance of pigs. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only.
