How to give medicine to sick pigs

In the production process of 227 pigs, we often encounter such a problem: after suffering from a disease, pigs often lose their appetite and even do not eat, which makes it difficult for sick pigs to take drugs internally. So, how to solve this problem, the method is to carry out artificial forced infusion.

In this paper, the techniques of giving drugs to sick pigs are introduced.

Put the sick pig standing or recumbent in Baoding, the head is fixed, so that it can not move freely, use the mouth opener to pry open the pig's mouth, and quickly insert the gastric tube from the tongue through the root of the tongue into the esophagus. When the position of the inserted gastric tube is correct, the pre-dissolved drug can be injected, and then a small amount of gas is injected into the tube after filling, so that the drug in the gastric tube is emptied, and then the gastric tube is quickly pulled out. It should be paid special attention here: never insert the gastric tube into the trachea, otherwise, the pig will die immediately after administration.

So, how to determine whether the gastric tube is inserted into the esophagus, the method is: ⑴ uses a crushed rubber ball connected to the outer mouth of the gastric tube, if the ball remains intact but does not bulge, inflate the rubber ball into the gastric tube and unobstructed, that is to prove that the gastric tube has entered the esophagus or stomach. ⑵ immerses the outer mouth of the gastric tube in water. If it exhales bubbles with the exhalation of a sick pig, it is inserted into the trachea; if no bubbles occur, it is inserted into the esophagus. ⑶) if the stomach tube is inserted into the trachea, the pig will not bark or the sound will be low and weak; if the stomach tube is inserted into the esophagus, the pig cry will not change.
