The second is that the quality of the feed is not up to standard, or the nutrition of the feed is not balanced, leading to indigestion and other phenomena. There is a lack of exercise in pregnant sows during pregnancy, farmers are over-protected, affecting gastrointestinal digestion, resulting in loss of appetite.

There is to ensure that sows have a certain amount of exercise every day, which can promote digestion and improve the physical quality of sows. Finally, you can mix an appropriate amount of traditional Chinese medicine per mu of feed to recuperate the intestines and stomach, and when sows have dry feces or constipation, you can use mild laxatives for excretion to dredge the intestines and stomach.

First of all, we can use stomach-strengthening drugs to treat severe anorexia; secondly, we can feed some edible oil to regulate the intestines and stomach, and add a small amount of laxatives; and we can use antibiotics to prevent infection after treatment; finally, when anorexia is very serious, we can also inject glucose solution or other drugs used to protect the fetus.
