Pigs are prone to vitamin deficiency in late winter and early spring, mainly due to the lack of green fodder, and some households have simple feed, lack of sunlight and poor air circulation in pig houses, so pigs are prone to vitamin deficiency in spring. The prevention and control methods are introduced as follows:

Vitamin A deficiency.

Symptoms: dry skin, dull body hair, indigestion, loss of appetite, slow growth. Some have impaired vision and nervous disorders. Severe spasms, circles, unstable gait, motor disorders, and even hindquarters paralysis can occur. The occurrence of this disease in sows is easy to cause miscarriage or stillbirth, the piglets born blind, even if the appearance of the piglets is normal, the physique is also very weak, easy to die.

Prevention and treatment: you can use 20 grams of pine needles, tamping juice or fried juice, and feed them once a day for several days; you can also feed more carrots, silage and other feed rich in vitamin A.

Vitamin B deficiency.

Symptoms: growth retardation, vomiting, skin rash, hair removal, etc. When pantothenic acid deficiency, poor appetite, poor growth, dysentery, cough, hair loss, movement disorders, especially showing a "goose step"-like movement posture. When lack of nicotinic acid, loss of appetite, weight loss, severe dysentery, dermatitis, skin cracking, covered with black crusts, nervous disorders, anemia.

Prevention and treatment: in the daily feed mix, pay attention to the full supply of vitamin B-rich feed. If taking corn as feed for a long time can cause nicotinic acid deficiency, we should reduce corn and increase bran, silage, sprouting feed, succulent tuber feed and so on.
