1. Treating postpartum paralysis in sows. Postpartum paralysis in sows mostly occurs within 2-5 days after farrowing. In the early stage of the disease, the animal is listless, has reduced appetite, and produces less milk; body temperature is normal or slightly elevated. In mild cases, standing is difficult and the hindquarters sway; in typical cases, the animal cannot stand and lies down in a stupor. For treatment, add 4% bone meal, AD3 powder and trace element additives to the feed. Inject the sick pig intramuscularly with 3-5 milliliters of vitamin D3 colloidal calcium, 5-10 milliliters of vitamin E injection (twice daily); vitamin D3 600-1200 international units, once daily, or take an appropriate amount of quicklime, add clean water, stir and let stand. Each time the affected sow is fed, take 300-400 milliliters of the clear supernatant limewater and mix it into the feed. Generally, feeding continuously for 10 days gives a marked curative effect.

2. Treating postpartum paralysis in ewes. Postpartum paralysis is a sudden functional disorder disease of ewes. It is mainly characterized by paralysis of the pharynx, tongue and intestines, loss of consciousness, and paralysis of the limbs. Clinically, intravenous calcium supplementation is used for treatment, but the effect is not ideal. Take 30 grams each of codonopsis root, atractylodes rhizome, jujube, motherwort, astragalus, licorice and angelica root, 20 grams each of white peony root and tangerine peel, and 10 grams each of cimicifuga rhizome and bupleurum root, decoct in water, add 100 milliliters of white liquor and administer orally, 1 dose daily, for 2 consecutive doses, and it can be cured. In addition, during pregnancy, ewes should be exposed to more sunlight and exercise more; reduce feed high in calcium and high in protein for 2 weeks after giving birth; after parturition, give the ewe warm salt water to drink and supplement calcium-rich feed, which also has a good effect on preventing paralysis in ewes.
