Key points of epidemic prevention in raising pigs in spring

Spring, as a season of recovery of all things, is a good season for raising pigs. However, after the severe cold winter, the disease resistance of pigs has declined. And all kinds of bacteria will also begin to breed in spring, and if it is not managed properly, it can easily lead to a variety of diseases in pigs. Therefore, it is very important to raise pigs for epidemic prevention in spring. So today, the editor brings you the key points of pig breeding and epidemic prevention in spring. Let's take a look!

1. Improve the environment

If you want to reduce the incidence of pig disease, then you must do a good job of prevention. Improving the environment of the pig house is one of the preventive measures. in the spring, we have to maintain the warm and dry environment of the pig house and do a good job in hygiene and cleaning. Especially in the northern region, the temperature change is relatively large, the temperature difference between day and night is large, so we should still pay attention to cold protection and warmth. Pay attention to closing doors, windows and vents at night. Create a dry, clean, warm and well-ventilated environment for pigs to avoid diseases such as colds.

2. Disinfection of pig house

Pig house disinfection is also very important and is a key measure to prevent the reproduction of germs in pig houses. It should be disinfected twice a week. The method of disinfection can be disinfected by spray, or the floor walls of piggery can be sprayed with lime milk and caustic soda solution. The wastes produced by pigs in the house should be removed in time, such as feces, feed residues, etc. When disinfecting, we should also pay attention to the temperature and humidity in the pigsty to avoid affecting the disinfection effect. Disinfectants generally have chlorine preparations, aldehyde preparations and so on, so it is necessary to ensure that there are no dead corners in a complete disinfection. At the same time, more than two kinds of disinfectants should be used in rotation to avoid drug resistance.

3. Disease prevention and control

The temperature in spring is hot and cold. In this environment, pigs are very prone to influenza. At the same time, spring is also the season for the occurrence of various epidemic infectious diseases such as classical swine fever and swine erysipelas. Therefore, we must pay attention to the prevention work, first of all should disinfect the air, spray peracetic acid and other agents. Then it is necessary to do a good job of vaccination in strict accordance with the epidemic prevention process and the prevention of key diseases according to the epidemic prevention characteristics of the region. Do not leak prevention, the use of ineffective vaccine and other phenomena. Then we should often observe the growth of pigs to ensure early detection and early treatment. All personnel and vehicles entering the pig farm must undergo strict disinfection.

4. Scientific management

When feeding pigs in spring, we should prepare diets reasonably according to the growth period of pigs. At the same time, it should be adjusted according to the weight and eating changes of pigs. If it is fattening pigs and breeding pigs, then it can be raised normally. However, piglets must pay more attention to them, because their innate immunity is relatively poor, and their thermoregulation and digestive function are immature. Therefore, piglets are the most susceptible to disease in spring, and a large number of piglets will die in severe cases, so we should pay more attention to it. We can add appropriate amount of vitamins to the feed to improve the appetite of pigs. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure clean drinking water and adequate light, so that pigs can exercise properly and improve their immunity.
