How to prevent and cure exudative dermatitis in piglets

Exudative dermatitis, also known as seborrheic dermatitis, mainly infects piglets. In the past, this disease rarely occurred. People's lack of understanding of it was often thought to be caused by vitamin deficiency. Later, vitamin supplementation did not improve this symptom. Only then did people re-realize what this disease is all about, study treatment methods, and accumulate more treatment experience. Today, I would also like to introduce to you the origin of this disease and how to deal with it.

I. performance of victimization

The disease is mainly harmful to piglets, young pigs, the disease has no incubation period, the disease is sudden, first there is a small red class around the eyes, and then it turns black, then a slippery overflow oily substance appears locally, which expands the whole body, and then the mucus is dried into black crusts. When the illness is serious, do not eat milk, the joint is swollen, it is difficult to stand. Finally, the skin is dry. Split and lose water, bleed and die.

II. Infection and spread

The disease is caused by Staphylococcus dermatitis, which is a highly infectious bacterial disease. It mainly infects newborn pigs, and later longer piglets will also be infected. The germs spread rapidly, one was susceptible, and soon the whole litter of pigs was infected. The test found that sows were not infected, only piglets were infected. The bacteria multiply rapidly in high temperature and humidity environment, and the risk of infection is high in summer.

III. Prevention and control measures

Disinfection is the most effective way to prevent the spread of germs. generally, the diseased pigs should be isolated first, and then the disinfected plants should be disinfected, bathed, sprayed, or injected, and then the whole pigsty should be rinsed clean and sprayed. Clean pigs that are not susceptible to disease, spray prevention.

The disease site should also be smeared with potassium permanganate solution or gentian purple, gentian purple has obvious effect. The infected wound should be smeared with iodine and disinfected with hydrogen peroxide.

Or wash the disease department with coal phenol soap and sprinkle it with oxytetracycline to eliminate symptoms and cure the disease area.

Keeping the pigsty clean can prevent the bacteria from growing and spreading infection. If the infection occurs, it should be treated with medicine bath at the initial stage to control the disease. Serious disease requires timely injection of medicine treatment, the elimination of germs at the same time do not forget the wound disease department treatment, to prevent secondary infection.
