10 Types of Feed That Must Not Be Given After Pigs Take Medication

1. Mung beans: Mung beans can neutralize a hundred toxins and can also neutralize a hundred medicines, so they should be withheld after pigs take medication.

2. Sorghum: Sorghum contains tannic acid, which has a strong astringent effect, so it is forbidden when pigs are given purgatives; in addition, tannic acid can denature iron preparations, so it also must not be fed during treatment of iron-deficiency anemia.

3. Soybeans and soybean cake: Because soybeans contain minerals such as calcium, magnesium and iron, if soybean cake is fed at the same time as tetracycline drugs (such as tetracycline, oxytetracycline, etc.), it can form water-insoluble complexes and reduce the therapeutic effect, so it should be forbidden.

4. Wheat bran: Wheat bran is rich in phosphorus but lacks calcium, so it is forbidden during treatment of rickets, osteomalacia, gallstones and other diseases.

5. Malt: Malt can inhibit milk secretion, so it should be forbidden when galactagogues are used.

6. Spinach: Spinach contains oxalic acid, which forms calcium oxalate precipitate with calcium, so feeding should be stopped when calcium feeds such as shell powder, eggshell powder and bone meal are given.

7. Salt: Salt can reduce the therapeutic effect of streptomycin, and the sodium in salt causes water retention in the body, leading to edema. Therefore, when treating nephritis and using streptomycin, it should be limited or withheld.

8. Goose feather feed: Because goose feather powder has a contraceptive effect, it should be forbidden during the period when sows are given estrus-inducing drugs.

9. Stone powder and bone meal: Because they contain relatively much calcium, they can reduce the therapeutic effect of oxytetracycline and tetracycline, so during the use of these antibiotics, feeding of stone powder and bone meal should be suspended.

10. Cottonseed cake: Because cottonseed cake contains the toxic substance gossypol. In addition, cottonseed cake can affect the absorption of vitamin A, so when vitamin A or cod liver oil is used, cottonseed cake should be limited or withheld.
