Prevention and Treatment of Vitamin Deficiency in Pigs in Late Winter and Early Spring
In late winter and early spring, pigs are prone to vitamin deficiency. The main reason is that green fodder is still relatively scarce; in addition, some pig farmers provide a single, unbalanced feed, and the pig houses lack sunlight and ventilation, so pigs are susceptible to vitamin deficiency in spring.

What causes aflatoxin poisoning in pigs
Aflatoxin is a toxin produced by Aspergillus flavus. It is not easily destroyed in the external environment, and ordinary heating and boiling cannot break down the toxin (Bt toxin is only broken down when heated to 268°C to 269°C). It is a liver-cancer-causing substance. Aspergillus flavus is widely distributed in nature and readily parasitizes and multiplies in corn, peanuts, rice, wheat straw, as well as cottonseed cake, soybean cake, wheat bran and rice bran, producing toxins and causing ordinary grains and their by-products to become moldy and spoiled. At present,

Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Treatment Methods for Calcium and Phosphorus Metabolism Disorders in Pigs
Calcium and phosphorus metabolism disorders occur in young pigs, and the resulting bone dystrophy is called rickets. The pathological features are insufficient calcification by osteoblasts, persistent cartilage hypertrophy, and incomplete temporary calcification with enlargement of the epiphyses. The clinical features are digestive disturbance, pica, lameness, and skeletal deformity. It is a non-inflammatory disease of poor bone tissue development, and vitamin D deficiency also plays an important role in the pathogenesis of rickets. Calcium and phosphorus metabolism disorders occur in adult pigs, and the resulting bone dystrophy is called osteomalacia, or fibrous osteodystrophy. The pathological feature is progressive

Interferon Can Reduce Mortality in Pigs with Blue Ear Disease
Interferon is a class of proteins with antiviral, antitumor and immunomodulatory functions produced by cells induced by various inducers (viruses, bacteria, macromolecules, etc.). To investigate the therapeutic effect of interferon on porcine blue ear disease, we conducted a trial from August to October 2006 on the use of interferon combined with other drugs to treat porcine blue ear disease. The trial is reported as follows. From August to October 2006, at the Animal Clinic of the Huai'an Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Station, 325 pigs confirmed by laboratory diagnosis as having blue ear disease were selected and

Pig farmers, take note: never spray cold water on pigs in the height of summer
In the height of summer, when temperatures are high, pigs often pant heavily from the heat. Some farmers, worried that the pigs will get sick from the heat, spray cold water on them, hoping to cool them down and make them feel more comfortable, not realizing that this does more harm than good. Pigs pant from the heat because they do not sweat effectively, so the heat in their bodies cannot be released for the time being. If cold water is sprayed on the pigs at this point, the strong cold stimulus makes the sweat pores all over their bodies contract sharply, the release of body heat is blocked, and their body temperature instead rises abruptly. In mild cases this causes high fever and lung inflammation; in severe cases it leads to death. Therefore
