When feeding concentrated feed, it should be paired with green and coarse feed, and minerals and trace elements should be added in appropriate amounts. For example, adding 1%-2% mineral feed to the pig's diet, 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. 2.

2. Chronic indigestion in pigs. For pigs with indigestion, the stomach should be strengthened and appetite stimulated. For pigs weighing more than 10 kg, use 10 tablets of 0.3 g rhubarb and baking soda tablets, grind them into powder and mix with feed for feeding, 2 times a day for 3 consecutive days, which can help strengthen the stomach. If at the same time use 50 g each of hawthorn, malt and medicated leaven (amount for 1 dose), decoct the juice and mix with feed for feeding. 2 times a day for 5 consecutive days, it can also help promote digestion.

3. Parasites in the pig's body. Levamisole hydrochloride injection can be used for 1 intramuscular injection, 6 mg per kg of body weight, to expel parasites.

4. Vitamin deficiency in the pig's body. For teeth grinding caused by a deficiency of vitamins (especially vitamin D) in the body, use vitamin AD injection, intramuscular injection of 0.1 ml per kg of body weight, and feed the pig compound vitamin B, 2 times a day, 10 tablets each time, for 8 consecutive days.
