What about calcium deficiency in pigs?

Symptoms: early manifestations of anorexia, heterophilia, like lying on the ground. In the middle stage, the movement of the diseased pig was stiff, with arched back posture, the hindquarters swayed, some appeared claudication, and the hock joints of the two hindlimbs were sunken to the inside, showing an "eight" shape. In the later stage, the diseased pig lay on the ground and did not walk, the two hind legs extended forward to the ventral side, and the two forelimbs bent under the chest. Most of the diseased pigs have oval cysts under the posterior part of the tarsal joint.

Treatment: for severe cases, first of all, the cystic swelling of the tarsal joint on both sides is disinfected and pierced with a triangular needle to release the contents. Then use calcium gluconate intravenous injection, every 50 kg body weight with 3 grams, once a day, 2-3 times can be cured. In the middle and early stage and mild cases, take 2 grams of calcium gluconate tablets every 50 kg weight, twice a day for 3-4 days.
