Hello dear farmers!Today we are going to ** the topic of the problem of repeated cough and high fever in pigs.
What diseases might be causing these problems?And how can we effectively prevent and control it?Let's unravel this mystery together.
First of all, let's be clear that coughs and high fevers in pigs do not appear for no reason, they can be early signs of a disease.
Common diseases include respiratory diseases, infectious diseases, etc. For example, swine flu, swine pneumonia, mycoplasma suis pneumonia, etc. may cause symptoms such as cough and high fever in pigs.
Porcine lung disease: Pig body temperature can rise to 41-42, do not eat, mucous membranes are blue and purple, throat is red and swollen, fever, dyspnea is often in a dog sitting posture open mouth panting, and eventually death due to suffocation.
Swine fever: The temperature of the pig body rises to 40-42 and does not retreat repeatedly. Loss of appetite or hunger strike, depressed spirit, sleepiness, shivering, huddled in a pile or burrowing in the grass;Constipation followed by diarrhea.
Swine flu: Pig body temperature suddenly rises to 40-415, up to 42, reduced or hunger strike, mental depression, muscle and joint pain, often lying on the ground, rapid breathing, paroxysmal spasmodic cough, dry and hard stools, mucous discharge from the eyes and nose.
In addition, the pig herd may be due to climate change, the livestock owner's farm enclosure is poor, and the level of feeding management is low, resulting in the epidemic of pigs.
So, how do you diagnose these diseases?This requires us to make a comprehensive judgment based on the specific symptoms of the pig, combined with laboratory testing.
If a certain disease is diagnosed, we can choose the appropriate ** plan according to the severity of the disease.
In this case, it is recommended that you contact a professional veterinarian for diagnosis and **.
At the same time, strengthen feeding management, regular disinfection, early detection of affected pigs, early **. In addition, for the change in the body temperature of pigs, we need to know that the virus is through the mouth, into the throat, then into the lymph nodes, then through the whole body, and finally into the bloodstream, and finally into toxemia, and finally death.
Therefore, it is a good thing that the pig body secretes body temperature hormones and causes the body temperature to rise. However, while the pig body heats up and kills the virus, it is also harmed. Therefore, it is more important than the use of drugs to know that the appropriate temperature for the reproduction of the virus is consistent with the body temperature.
Next, we will focus on how to prevent and improve these diseases through scientific feeding management, strengthening biosecurity measures, optimizing the pig house environment, etc.
1.Scientific feeding management: We must ensure that the pigs' diet is nutritionally balanced and avoid overfeeding or malnutrition. At the same time, we also need to clean the pig house regularly to maintain environmental hygiene and reduce the breeding of pathogenic microorganisms.
2.Strengthen biosecurity measures: We must strictly implement the biosecurity system of the pig farm, for example, the entry and exit of outsiders must be disinfected, and the entry and exit of pigs must also be strictly quarantined. In addition, we need to avoid contact with pathogenic microorganisms, for example, avoid buying unknown feeds and vaccines.
3.Optimize the pig house environment: We must ensure that the temperature, humidity, ventilation and other conditions of the pig house are suitable to avoid pig health problems caused by environmental factors.
In general, the problem of cough and high fever in pigs is not unsolved, as long as we do a good job in disease prevention and work, we can effectively protect the health and production efficiency of pigs. Whether you are a novice or an experienced farmer, these tips will provide useful guidance for your farm management.
Finally, we hope that every farmer can put the health of pigs first, because only healthy pigs can bring us stable income. Let's work together to create a better living environment for pigs!
