What is going on when a sow passes white, lime-like material in her urine?

In the process of farming pork pigs, every aspect needs to be taken care of. What is the situation when a sow passes white, lime-like material in her urine? How is it treated?

1. Causes of white, lime-like material in sow urine

1. The protein content in the feed is too high, causing too much uric acid to be produced, and under certain stress conditions, massive breakdown of body protein causes proteinuria.

2. An imbalance in the calcium-to-phosphorus ratio in the feed, especially long-term feeding of low-phosphorus green fodder or low-phosphorus feed, causes ectopic calcium deposition, leading to urate deposition.

3. The appearance of a urinary tract infection, such as urethritis.

2. How to prevent and treat white, lime-like material in sow urine

1. If proteinuria occurs, first reduce the protein in the feed, add 0.3% baking soda to the feed, feed for about a week, and add amoxicillin and multivitamins.

2. For cases caused by urethral inflammation or urate deposition, amoxicillin can be added to the feed for 3-5 days, baking soda added to the drinking water for a week, and the feed protein level appropriately reduced.

3. Urinary tract infections can also be treated by giving the sow an intramuscular injection of Houttuynia cordata injection plus ceftiofur sodium to reduce inflammation.

4. Ordinarily, the sow's external genitalia must be kept clean, and sulfonamide drugs should not be added to the feed for long periods. Strengthen the hygiene of the pig pen, disinfect regularly, and keep the drinking water clean.

5. Increase the sow's gastrointestinal digestion and absorption function, strengthen the sow's resistance, and add Shuangbu Deyi San, Yimuyuan and Butaneng.

In the process of raising pigs, when various problems are encountered, the cause must be found promptly so that prevention and treatment can be carried out.
