Prevention and treatment plan for porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome is a comprehensive viral condition that easily triggers other diseases, and current data indicates that its mortality rate can sometimes reach over 40%. Therefore, preventive measures and treatment methods for porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome are especially important. So what aspects can be addressed? Let's learn about it together with Qinnong Web below.

I. Prevention methods

1. Reduce sources of infection

The sources of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus infection generally include being carried by external organisms or already existing in the pigpen itself, so it is recommended that farmers use closed management when raising pigs to reduce the chance of external infection, and farm owners should also try to visit other farms less often, especially during the disease season. Second, disinfection inside the pigpen must be thorough, and multiple disinfections are needed during the raising period, with every dead corner ensured to be covered. It is recommended to use a three-in-one disinfection method of lime water plus spraying and mist fumigation to ensure thorough disinfection.

2. Drug prevention

The use of drugs is currently a fairly common way for many farms to prevent disease. First is vaccine prevention, which is a very important aspect. At present, our country's inactivated vaccines have a fairly good preventive effect against porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome. After injecting the vaccine, drugs that improve the pig's immunity can also be fed irregularly. Antibody drugs such as amoxicillin can be fed irregularly; the fed drugs only play a general protective role. Everyone should not overfeed drugs, as this is not good for the pigs.

3. Feeding prevention

Feeding prevention is something everyone can do in daily life. So what can be fed daily to improve the pig's own resistance to porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome? Feed should be selected that contains a large amount of trace elements, and the feeding amount does not need to be too much. Second, feed can be mixed with things like Huangqi Lanyuankang to improve the pig's viral resistance, and compound anthocyanins and the like can also be added to the feed to improve the cell vitality of the pig breed. Finally, more fresh vegetables can be fed to ensure balanced vitamins for the pigs, achieving the effect of perfecting their immune mechanism.

II. Treatment plan

During treatment, injectable agents or oral agents can be chosen, or both can be used together, but before using drugs you must clearly understand whether these agents conflict with each other. For injectable agents, ribavirin and enrofloxacin can be mixed for injection; this method is generally used during the period when the pig's body temperature rises sharply. For oral use, compound anthocyanins mixed together with aspirin and taurine can be chosen, generally used in the early stage of the disease. If a mixture of Hungan Tongzhi injection and Puke injection is used, it can be injected throughout the whole course.

Below are several methods to bring you relief from the disease and increase your treatment time. In areas relatively lacking certain agents, doxycycline mixed with astragalus polysaccharide can be fed as feed, and then pig interferon is injected, requiring further treatment. PRRS inactivated vaccine can also be directly inoculated to improve the pig's immune function and give yourself more time for treatment.
