In the process of raising pigs, a variety of diseases often occur, and dead pigs are common, but it is necessary to find causes to prevent the recurrence of diseases that lead to pig death. Flatulence in pigs, too, often causes death in pigs, but for more than one reason. We need to find reasons for treatment, as well as future prevention. Well, we can continue to take a look at the specific reasons and prevention methods.

1. E. coli

Newborn piglets are easily infected with Escherichia coli causing yellow dysentery and white dysentery. The incidence of yellow dysentery is very high and the incidence of white dysentery is much lower. After the disease, often gastrointestinal function stops, food nutrition can not be digested, begin to ferment in the intestinal tract, fermentation will cause gas, it is easy to die. This kind of flatulence, can only use sensitive antibiotics to sterilize, but can not alleviate flatulence, or may die, flatulence problem is difficult to deal with, it is best to prevent.

2. Infectious gastritis

Through contact transmission, the disease occurs in winter and spring, some can be infected periodically, and can be transmitted by contact between pigs. At present, there is no specific cure for flatulence, we can only use rehydration salts, oral feeding, and then take antibiotics, choose gentamicin treatment to prevent continued infection, in order to prevent infection, sick pigs need to be isolated.

3. Bad intestines and stomach

Simple stomach is not good, if affected by high temperature, or drink cold water, eat cold food, bad food, spoiled feed. All these can lead to gastrointestinal dysfunction in pigs. In serious cases, flatulence will occur. In summer, fans must be prepared to cool down and provide clean and adequate drinking water. The food needs to be cooked and fed, not overnight. Feed clean feed. Some traditional Chinese medicine preparations can be used.

4. Constipation due to illness

Sometimes pigs are infected with diseases that cause constipation, such as blue ear disease and classical swine fever. After severe constipation, there will be flatulence, so in fact, if there is a way, defecation, can be saved, and then take some drugs can be cured. But these diseases should be treatable and preventable.

In addition to the environmental and food effects, most of the flatulence of farmed pigs is caused by diseases. Therefore, it is very important to do a good job of health and epidemic prevention, and timely treatment is the key.
