Livestock Farming 0 views
There are many types of deworming drugs for pigs, but you should choose drugs that are fast-acting, easy to use, cheap, low in toxicity, and free of drug resistance. As long as they are selected properly, the deworming effect will be achieved. Deworming drugs are divided into nematocides, flukicides, taeniacides, and antiprotozoals, etc. Because their properties differ, even nematocides are not effective against all nematodes, so the right drug must be matched to the right parasite. For example, levamisole and thiabendazole are currently relatively ideal nematocides, cheap, low in toxicity, safe, and reliable. And

They are also immunopotentiators, which can enhance the immune function of pigs, and have a good deworming effect on pig lungworms, roundworms, large intestinal nematodes, and oesophagostomum, while the effect on pig kidney worms is unstable.

Deworming drugs come in tablets, powders, injections, and emulsions. Generally speaking, powders and tablets are suitable for parasites of the digestive tract, injections are suitable for worms parasitic in the respiratory system and organs such as the liver and kidneys, while emulsions are more appropriate for preventing and controlling external parasites such as ticks and mites.

It is best to choose some traditional Chinese medicine deworming agents. First, they have small toxic and side effects; second, they do not produce drug resistance, and no matter how many times they are used, they will not affect the deworming effect; third, long-term use will not produce harmful residues and meets hygiene standards; fourth, they are highly targeted, have bidirectional regulation, a wide range of indications, and can enhance immune function; fifth, they are cheap. For example, for pig roundworms, Junziren San, Nanguazi San, and Taiping San can be used; for pig cysticerci, pomegranate peel decoction can be used; for external parasites, such as pig lice, fresh peach leaves can be mashed and rubbed on the pig's body several times, and pig mange can be cured by smearing waste engine oil on the pig's body.
