Last Updated: 2024/12/22, The normal body temperature of pigs is 38 ℃ ~ 40 ℃. If it continues to exceed 40 ℃, it is feverish. Persistent high fever for a long time will accelerate the catabolism of the body, disorder of digestive function, decrease of resistance, and even cause coma or heart failure. The principles for the treatment of febrile pigs are as follows: feverish pigs are immediately isolated and the contaminated environment should be thoroughly disinfected. In the absence of a clear understanding of the cause, as long as it is not excessive fever, generally do not use antipyretic drugs at will. While using antimicrobials, we should pay attention to supplement nutrients.

Feverish sick pigs are immediately isolated and the contaminated environment should be thoroughly disinfected. In the absence of a clear understanding of the cause, as long as it is not excessive fever, generally do not use antipyretic drugs at will.

While using antibiotics, we should pay attention to supplement nutrients, such as glucose saline, electrolytes (inorganic salts), B vitamins, vitamin C.

In the antipyretic period, in order to prevent collapse, we should pay attention to protect the function of the heart, if necessary, adrenaline and other drugs can be injected. It is necessary to strengthen nursing, avoid all kinds of stress, and pay special attention to the three elements of environmental temperature, humidity and ventilation. Diseased pigs should be fed with easily digestible and delicious green feed or feed rich in sugar.
