Piglets in the pig farm at home have diarrhea all the time?

Piglet diarrhea generally has the following three reasons, and the subject can judge for himself by combining the following description-

1, the temperature does not meet the requirements.

Many friends who raise pigs said that their piglets began to have diarrhea, yellow and white dysentery when they were born, and even died of dehydration in severe cases; There are also many friends who say that the piglets in their pig farms always start to have diarrhea as soon as they are weaned, and the effect of medication is sometimes good and sometimes bad, which is easy to happen repeatedly. I have to say that temperature is very important to the health of piglets. If the temperature can't meet the needs of piglets, diarrhea will definitely happen. The environment when piglets are born is from the sow's stomach to the pigsty, and the temperature in the sow's uterus is about 38 degrees Celsius. In order to minimize the pressure on piglets, it is best to keep the temperature in the piglet pen above 30 degrees Celsius. However, many pig farmers didn't notice this, and adjusted the temperature of the piglet incubator to 25 degrees Celsius, or didn't know how many degrees it was in the incubator at all, which was the main reason for the diarrhea of newborn piglets. Weaned piglets also have temperature stress. Piglets are used to the temperature of the maternity bed and incubator. After weaning, put it directly in the nursery with large temperature difference, and it is also easy to catch cold and have diarrhea. Therefore, in order to prevent piglets from diarrhea, the temperature should be turned off first, especially at night. Many friends who raise pigs have asked the question of diarrhea. I asked the temperature of the pigsty. They say the temperature is very high during the day, and there is no problem, but the temperature at night doesn't matter. I asked them to go to the pigsty to measure the temperature at night, and the result was only a dozen degrees. Can the pig not have diarrhea? Therefore, raising pigs is a meticulous job and must be considered comprehensively.

2. The piglet has great intestinal stress when weaning.

Under normal circumstances, in order to minimize the pressure of weaned piglets, pig farmers should connect the temperature of the maternity bed with the temperature of the nursery. For example, the common practice is that the temperature in the incubator gradually drops before weaning, and when weaning, the temperature in the incubator drops to about 24 degrees Celsius; The temperature of the nursery can be kept at about 25 degrees Celsius by baking lamps or electric heating plates. Why is it higher than this degree? Because the incubator has smaller space and better thermal insulation, and the nursery has larger space, the somatosensory temperature of pigs in two different environments is different. If it is also 24 degrees Celsius, it will feel warmer in the incubator than in the big fence, so the temperature of the nursery fence is preferably 1 Celsius.

But even if some pig friends do well in this respect, pigs will still have diarrhea. Why? Of course, we should also consider intestinal stress. When piglets are weaned, the food entering the intestine changes from milk to feed, that is, from animal feed to plant feed. There is a big difference between the two. The gastrointestinal development of piglets is not perfect, especially the lack of enzymes to digest plant feed, so piglets can't digest it and naturally have diarrhea. To solve the intestinal stress of weaned piglets, we should start from two points: one is to supplement feed as soon as possible, and the other is to do a good job in weaning health care. The best feeding time is 7 days after birth, and piglets at this age will not eat. Our main purpose is to let them smell it. After feeding for two or three days, the pig began to eat more or less. However, some pig farmers mistakenly think that the sow's milk is enough, so they don't have to feed it, and they start eating feed directly after weaning. These are all wet, and piglets will definitely have diarrhea after weaning. Even if the feed is supplemented in advance, it is easy to get sick because the gastrointestinal function of piglets is weak at weaning and there is no maternal antibody protection in milk. For health care and prevention, we need to add probiotics and some amoxicillin to the feed. Do a good job in feeding and weaning health care, so that piglets are not prone to diarrhea after weaning.

3. The pathogen of piglet diarrhea may be sow.

This kind of diarrhea is mainly aimed at suckling piglets. We can temporarily control it with some injections or oral drugs, but it is always repeated, depending on the sow. First of all, sows are weak during childbirth and are easily infected by germs, so it is inevitable that there will be germs or toxins produced by germs in milk. Why doesn't the pig have diarrhea after eating such milk? Even if piglets are treated with drugs to control diarrhea, there will be repeated situations if the source problem is not solved. Therefore, sows must do anti-inflammatory work well after delivery, not only to ensure the health and physical recovery of sows, but also to let piglets eat clean milk. When diarrhea occurs in suckling piglets, it is necessary not only to treat piglets, but also to follow the principle of "treating mother and child together" and give sows appropriate drugs. This can not only purify the milk, but also transfer some drugs into piglets through the milk, and promote the recovery of piglets. The commonly used anti-inflammatory drugs for postpartum sows are cephalosporin, lincomycin and oxytetracycline, but many pig farmers still insist on using penicillin. I have to remind everyone here that penicillin is already a very old antibiotic. With the extensive use in recent years, the drug resistance is already high, which can not play a good anti-inflammatory role. Better anti-inflammatory drugs should be used as soon as possible.

In addition, some sows suffer from mastitis, which can be seen from the appearance, but mild mastitis can't be seen from the appearance. Sows with mastitis have two main problems. First, the lack of milk, piglets do not eat enough milk, easy to drink dirty water or find something to eat from the outside, easy to have diarrhea; The second is mastitis in the nipple. Even if there is milk, it contains germs and toxins, and pigs will have diarrhea when they eat it. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent sow mastitis, find timely treatment, and don't let piglets eat inflamed nipples.

The above three problems are the fundamental reasons why piglet diarrhea is difficult to be cured, and they are also problems that many pig farmers easily ignore. When diarrhea occurs, we should not only think about what medicine to give the piglets, but also look for the root cause. Only by proceeding from the root cause can we solve the fundamental problem!

As for the treatment of piglet diarrhea, I recommend Kelon's 10ML enrofloxacin 2.5% injection. I remember this one from Zhonghe Haisheng Mall. Now I have a box in 2.8 yuan (5 tablets 10ML). And Pulsatilla powder. If you have no experience, I suggest you consult your local veterinarian and follow the doctor's advice.
