The reason why pigs do not eat at low temperature

Pig is an indispensable meat food in our country. There are farming in all parts of our country, and the annual consumption of pork in our country is now the largest of all meat products. The market demand is large, so it has led to the expansion of the breeding area. However, although pig farming has a long history, there are still a lot of problems when raising pigs. And pigs do not eat at low temperature is one of them. So what is the reason why pigs do not eat at low temperature? Let's take a look at it together.

1. Nutritional reasons

Now there are many pig farmers, in order to blindly improve the efficiency of breeding and reduce the cost of breeding. The quality of the feed is very poor, and there are many pig farmers who process their own feed. Lead to feed nutrition imbalance, either lack of energy or vitamin deficiency. The common lack of nutrition leads to abnormal body performance and metabolism of pigs. Naturally, pigs do not eat at low temperatures, and if the pigs are not exposed to the sun for a long time in the house. Pigs lack vitamin D3, and the lack of vitamin D3 will affect calcium absorption in pigs. Lead to weak myocardial contraction, poor blood circulation and hypothermia in pigs.

2. Management

The floors of many pig farms are paved with cement, and the cement floor is very cold. And when rinsing with water, the ground will be cooler, causing the temperature in the pigsty to stay in a cool environment. It is more obvious in winter and spring when the temperature is lower. If pigs grow in this cold environment for a long time, it will have a great impact on their growth. And the pig farm because of space constraints, so the amount of exercise of pigs is also very small. The metabolism of the body and gastrointestinal activity are blocked, so it will also lead to the phenomenon that pigs do not eat at low temperature.

3. Improper health care

Pigs should be properly taken care of in the process of breeding. And sometimes in the health care procedures, if the operation is improper, such as the use of a large number of low-quality mildew remover, it is extremely prone to a variety of problems. Because the inferior mildew remover only has a simple adsorption, it will not only absorb the mycotoxin in the feed. Even nutrients will be absorbed together, resulting in the loss of feed nutrients. Natural pigs will not eat at low temperature, and sows will be paralyzed after delivery, boars' food intake will decrease and semen quality will decrease.

4. Other reasons

Some farmers in order to reduce costs, some moldy feed is not processed in time, but directly fed to pigs. The moldy feed contains a mycotoxin, if the pig absorbs the mycotoxin, then there will be poisoning. It leads to the destruction of liver function and abnormal digestion, resulting in low temperature not eating. Then, when using some antipyretic drugs, because antipyretic drugs can cause a sharp drop in the pig's body temperature, it will not only cover up the symptoms of fever, but also decrease the rate of metabolism, resulting in hypothermia and even death.

The above is a brief introduction to the reasons why pigs do not eat at low temperature. Pigs in the emergence of low temperature do not eat, must pay attention to find out the cause in time, and then prescribe the right medicine, do not blindly deal with it, otherwise it may aggravate the disease.
