Prevention and treatment: When preparing pig rations, pay attention to fully supplying bran rich in vitamin B, silage, sprouted feed, etc. If corn is used as the main feed for a long time, it can cause vitamin PP (niacin) deficiency, so the amount of corn in the feed should be appropriately reduced and bran, silage, sprouted feed, and succulent tuber feed should be increased.
