Treatment of cold diarrhea in pigs

Pig "cold diarrhea" disease has been confirmed to be caused by infectious gastroenteritis and epidemic diarrhea in pigs, and pigs are prone to this disease in cold weather. Once pigs get this disease, in addition to severe diarrhea and death of pigs (the mortality rate of dairy pigs can reach 100%), it also seriously affects the growth of pigs and increases the elimination rate of pigs. In order to effectively control the occurrence of this disease, the pathological characteristics and prevention measures of this disease are introduced as follows:

pathological features

Porcine transmissible gastroenteritis and porcine epidemic diarrhea are highly contagious viral diarrhoeal diseases that can infect pigs of all ages, especially piglets under 10 days of age, with high morbidity and mortality. The main symptoms of the disease were vomiting, severe diarrhea (watery diarrhea like spray) and dehydration. In addition to sick pigs, the virus contaminated feed, drinking water, air and other vectors through respiratory and digestive tract infection pigs, other such as poor feeding conditions, monotonous feed, sudden change of feed, cold and humid environment, long-distance transportation can promote the occurrence and epidemic of the disease. The disease usually lasts 3 to 7 days.

prevention measures

One is to do a good job in pig introduction and epidemic season pig farm isolation and disinfection measures, according to the incidence of pig farms over the years, most of them are introduced or purchased piglets carelessly caused, in addition in the epidemic season pig farms do not do disinfection measures resulting in exogenous virus introduction, pig infectious gastroenteritis and epidemic diarrhea prevention mainly rely on prevention.

The second is to use the combination vaccine of infectious gastroenteritis and epidemic diarrhea for breeding pigs to enhance the resistance to the disease. It starts to be used in September and October every year. In order to ensure a high level of antibody production, in the first immunization after 25 - 30 days to strengthen the immunization, pig Houhai acupoint is the best immune site.

Third, if the disease occurs in pig farms, the sick pigs should be isolated first and the polluted environment should be disinfected strictly. Sick pigs stop breastfeeding or feeding, and provide cold, warm, clean and dry environment, give sufficient clean drinking water, and minimize all kinds of stress. General symptomatic treatment, such as rehydration, convergence, diarrhea, correction of acidosis and other measures to control secondary infection methods.
