How to Prevent Cold-Induced Diarrhea in Pigs When the Weather Turns Cold? A Detailed Explanation of Prevention and Treatment Points

Livestock Farming 0 views
Every year during the sanjiu cold period, because temperatures are low in rural outdoor pig pens, the pigs' bodies are hit by strong cold air, and on top of that they eat and drink cold water and cold feed, so cold pathogens strike straight into the stomach and intestines. This often causes some pigs to move weakly, with cold-dampness sinking downward and clear and turbid not being separated, resulting in cold intestinal diarrhea. This disease occurs most often during the sijiu to wujiu cold periods. The reasons are, first, that this is the coldest weather of the year; second, that the Spring Festival has arrived, and every household often feeds pigs the meat broth water left from washing and rinsing, which leads to more cases of cold-induced diarrhea in pigs. The folk treatment method is: first strengthen cold protection and warmth retention in the pig pen, then fry white wheat flour until it turns yellow-brown, add warm water and mix into a thin paste

The folk treatment method is: first strengthen cold protection and warmth retention in the pig pen, then fry white wheat flour until it turns yellow-brown, add warm water and mix into a thin paste; into the prepared fried flour, add "five-spice powder" (the main ingredients of five-spice powder are star anise, fennel, cinnamon, galangal, angelica dahurica, clove and other materials; its qi is aromatic and its nature is warm and hot, and it has the effects of warming the middle and dispersing cold, promoting spleen function and opening the appetite). For small pigs add 10 grams, and for large pigs add 30 grams. Generally, pigs stop having diarrhea after being fed this three times. This method is convenient to use in rural areas, saves money and saves labor.
