What causes vomiting in sows? Analysis of common causes

Many problems often arise during the growth of sows, and only timely and effective solutions can ensure the health of the next generation. What causes vomiting in sows?

What causes vomiting in sows

1. The sow ate moldy feed, which contains a toxin called mycotoxin. It can enter the human and animal body through feed or food, causing acute or chronic toxicity in humans and animals, and damaging the body's liver, kidneys, nervous tissue, hematopoietic tissue and skin tissue, etc.

2. Porcine transmissible gastroenteritis is a highly contagious digestive tract infectious disease of pigs caused by porcine transmissible gastroenteritis virus. It is characterized by vomiting, watery diarrhea and dehydration. It is highly lethal to piglets within 2 weeks of age. Some sows are repeatedly infected through close contact with sick piglets, with relatively severe symptoms, increased body temperature, cessation of lactation, vomiting, loss of appetite and diarrhea, while some lactating sows show no clinical symptoms.

3. Porcine epidemic diarrhea is an infectious disease caused by a virus and characterized by vomiting and diarrhea. The disease occurs mainly in spring and winter, and the range of infection is relatively wide. The incidence rate in sows varies greatly, at about 15-90%. Sick pigs are the main source of infection.

4. Infection with parasites, mainly stomach nematodes. This kind of stomach nematode does not cause frequent vomiting in sows, and it is not easy to diagnose. It can cause low appetite, a preference for drinking water, and occasional vomiting.

5. Gastric ulcers in pigs occur in pigs of all ages, with visible symptoms such as vomiting, black feces, and pale skin and mucous membranes.

When a sow shows vomiting, it is necessary to identify the cause and then treat it accordingly.
