1. Single feed source: It is best to feed pigs a complete compound feed with full nutritional value. When feeding concentrated feed, it should be paired with green and coarse feed, and an appropriate amount of minerals and trace elements should be added. Adding 1%-2% mineral feed to the pig's daily ration, such as bone meal, calcium hydrogen phosphate, eggshell powder, etc., and adding 0.25%-0.5% salt, etc., has a certain effect on preventing pigs from grinding their teeth at night. Each day, supplement each pig's feed with 30-50 grams of bone meal or eggshell powder or calcium bicarbonate powder, and 6-19 grams of salt, and feed continuously for 7-10 days, and the nighttime teeth grinding phenomenon can be eliminated.

2. Digestive disorders: For pigs with indigestion, stomach-strengthening treatment should be carried out, and a variety of methods can be used. For example, for pigs weighing more than 10 kg, use 10 tablets of rhubarb soda tablets with a content of 0.3 grams, grind them into powder, mix with feed and feed, feed 2 times a day, continuously for 3 days, which can play a role in strengthening the stomach. If at the same time use 20 grams of Atractylodes macrocephala, 30 grams of Poria cocos, 30 grams of dried tangerine peel, 10 grams of chicken gizzard lining, 30 grams of malt, and 10 grams of licorice, decoct and take the juice, mix with feed and feed. Feed 2 times a day, continuously for 5 days, and it can also help with digestion.

3. Parasite harm: When pigs have parasites in their bodies, nighttime teeth grinding can also occur, and they must be eliminated in time. Deworming pigs is generally carried out on the premise that the pigs have no other diseases. Stop feeding at noon, and at 8-9 p.m. when the pigs are empty, according to each kilogram of body weight, use albendazole or levamisole, trichlorfon or tetramisole, 15-20 mg each, grind into powder, mix into a small amount of concentrated feed, and administer in one feeding. Two days after feeding, dissolve 1 kg of quicklime in 5 kg of water, take the supernatant liquid, continue to mix with feed and feed, feed once a day, continuously for 2 days, and the parasites in the pigs' bodies can be expelled.

4. Vitamin deficiency: For pig teeth grinding caused by a deficiency of vitamins in the body (especially vitamin D), vitamin AD injection can be used for intramuscular injection at 0.1 mL per kilogram of body weight, and compound vitamin B should be given orally, 2 times a day, 20 tablets each time, continuously for 7 days.
