Symptoms and Prevention Methods of Porcine Subhealth Syndrome
In actual production management on pig farms, managers and technical staff generally pay more attention to the treatment and prevention of diseases, while paying insufficient attention to chronic wasting diseases such as pig parasites. Over many years of production practice, we have found that, in addition to the above factors, porcine subhealth syndrome - a critical state between health and disease - will, now and for a relatively long period in the future, together with virulent viral diseases, become the greatest enemy harming the @#@227@#@ industry. If pig farm managers do not pay close attention, it will seriously affect the improvement of pig farming production efficiency and product quality.
I. Common symptoms of the porcine subhealth state. (1) Poor appetite in pigs and slow growth rate. (2) Uneven individual development and an increased incidence of skin diseases in the herd. (3) Intestinal dysfunction in pigs, diarrhea, and a low absorption rate of nutrients. (4) Low immunity, decreased resistance to viruses and bacteria, and susceptibility to infections. (5) Long-term stress, with susceptibility to respiratory diseases, parasitic diseases, salmonellosis and intestinal toxin syndrome, and repeated outbreaks.
II. Causes of porcine subhealth. These are mainly immunosuppressive diseases, mycotoxins in feed, poor rearing environments and non-standard production management.
III. Main measures to address the porcine subhealth state. (1) Improve rearing and management conditions, especially environmental and nutritional factors. (2) Attach importance to the improvement of production technology and the standardization of management measures. (3) Use new types of feed additives that can improve animal immunity, and reduce the harm of immunosuppressive diseases. (4) Use broad-spectrum treatment agents that can adsorb multiple mycotoxins, and eliminate the harm of mycotoxins to the herd. (5) Do a good job in advance of vaccination and drug-based health care.
