Prevention and treatment of emaciation syndrome in sows

Weight loss syndrome, also known as nutritional exhaustion syndrome, occurs from time to time in the process of sow breeding, which is a metabolic disease caused by insufficient nutrition and increased energy consumption, resulting in loss of pig physique and decreased metabolic level. So how to prevent and cure this disease? Come and have a look with the editor.

1. The cause of disease

The main reason is that the nutrition level of pigs is too low, so that the supply of nutrition of pigs falls short of demand, especially in the case of raising in large groups, farmers often take measures of early weaning and rapid redistribution in order to speed up reproduction, so that sows are overburdened and their physique can not be recovered for a long time, so that they become more and more emaciated, sometimes even lying on the ground. In addition, when raising in large groups, this will also happen when some timid sows are hungry because they do not eat enough feed for a long time.

2. Occurrence of symptoms

The main symptoms of this disease are progressive emaciation, rough coat, prominent bones, dry skin, reduced elasticity, pale or reddish mucous membrane, and some yellow acne. Body muscle atrophy, standing weakness, or lying on the ground can not afford, no obvious change in appetite, body temperature is also normal. After the onset of the sow is very easy to fatigue, if the obsessive-compulsive period of exercise, soon there will be faster breathing, wheezing, pulse growth.

3. prevention and control measures

For sows with relatively serious exhaustion, in addition to strengthening feeding and replenishing high-energy feed, you can also cooperate with intravenous injection of glucose solution 300-500 ml, and then do to type vitamin B15-40 ml, intramuscular injection of vitamin C5-10 ml, skin-shot oxidized camphor 3-5 ml, pay attention to farmers in the absence of practical experience, it is best to ask professionals for injection. When raising in large groups, it is found that timid sows should be isolated and reared in time. For late pregnancy and lactation sows, especially for rapid recombination and early weaning sows, nutrition should be replenished in time to ensure that sows meet the needs of various nutrients. It is also necessary to pay attention to the deworming of sows. Sows with chronic wasting disease should be treated in time to increase their nutritional intake.
