Ten observation points for sick pigs, so pig farmers can quickly identify swine diseases
At present, for rural farmers raising pigs, in terms of feeding and management, some people pour feed into the pig trough and turn around and leave, rarely paying attention to observing the pigs' growth and development or whether they show signs of illness. As a result, they do not know when a pig gets sick, and by the time the pig is down in the pen, it is too late and difficult to treat. To prevent disease before it occurs and treat it early when it does, symptoms must be discovered in time. Observation can be made from the following ten aspects. 1. Look at demeanor. Healthy pigs are spirited, with tails raised and swinging freely, while sick pigs are listless, slow to move, prefer lying still, and have drooping tails.

Look at the skin. A healthy pig has smooth, rounded skin and full muscles; if the pig
