Winter dysentery is called porcine epidemic diarrhea in winter. The peak incidence period is from mid-December each year to mid-January of the following year; the disease onset is acute, spreads rapidly, and has a wide epidemic range; the incidence rate is high, the mortality rate is low, and it seriously affects the growth and development of pigs.

The incubation period of the disease is generally 12-18 hours. After infection, adult pigs show symptoms of watery diarrhea. The feces are initially grayish-white, gradually becoming yellow-green, with an unbearable foul odor. Abdominal bloating, vomiting, body temperature initially rises to 40degC-41degC, and once the diarrhea passes, the body temperature drops. Thirst and desire to drink. Piglets within 10 days of age suddenly vomit, followed by watery diarrhea containing curd-like clots in the stool. If treatment is delayed, they become emaciated and die. The author used a combination of Chinese and Western methods to treat more than 100 cases, with an effective rate of over 96%.

1. At the beginning of the disease, body temperature rises. Intramuscular injection of Antongding, Analgin, etc., 10-20 milliliters for adult pigs.

3. After the stool passes, 0.5% Jiujunjing injection can be used, with a dose of 2-5 milliliters per kilogram of body weight, and Zhubingling injection 1-2 milliliters per 10 kilograms of body weight. Twice a day.

4. Polyporus umbellatus, Poria cocos, Atractylodes lancea, dried tangerine peel 15 grams each, Magnolia officinalis 9 grams, licorice 3 grams, grind into powder and mix with feed for one oral administration.
