Answer: Comrade Muwang:
Hello, based on the described symptoms, it is impossible to determine exactly what caused it. In general, cases of acute death in weaned piglets roughly include the following:
1. Piglet edema disease: necropsy of dead pigs shows edema of the stomach wall, especially edema at the greater curvature of the stomach; edema of the mesocolon.
2. Vitamin E and selenium deficiency (mulberry heart disease): acute hemorrhagic liver necrosis is seen, with edema and paleness of skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle.
3. Salmonella septicemia: enlargement of the liver and spleen, enlargement of the mesenteric lymph nodes, and small white necrotic foci in the liver.
4. Clostridium novyi disease: abdominal distension after death, blood-stained fluid accumulation in the thoracic and abdominal cavities, and enlargement of the liver and spleen.
Prevention: antibacterial drugs should be added to piglet feed, while ensuring that the feed is nutritionally complete, appropriately supplementing selenium and vitamin E in selenium-deficient areas, improving the environment, and reducing stress.
