Reasons and solutions for pigs that eat but do not grow

Many farmers often encounter this situation during the breeding process: their pigs eat during the fattening process, but they do not put on weight. Why is this? So when everyone encounters this situation, what should they do? If you are interested, come and learn about it with the editor. The following are several preventive measures and solutions introduced by the editor.

1. Reasons why pigs eat but do not grow

There are many reasons why pigs eat but do not grow, and the solutions and preventive measures for this phenomenon caused by different reasons are also different. For example, chronic wasting diseases they already carry, such as asthma, circovirus, parasites, etc.; and also congenital poor growth and development, such as runt pigs, fetal runts, nursing runts, disease runts, drug runts, toxin runts, etc.; these are all reasons that cause live pigs to eat but not grow.

2. Preventive measures

Preventive measures are the preventive preparations we need to make before this phenomenon occurs. Generally, this phenomenon is caused by human factors. If it is aimed at disease-related problems, then during the breeding process we need to strengthen feeding management, do a good job in group management, hygiene management, vaccine prevention and control, etc. Secondly, we can also ensure balanced nutrition through reasonable feed formulation. Also, keep the breeding environment quiet to avoid stress reactions, etc.

3. Solutions

Disease-related causes

In order to solve the problem of live pigs eating but not growing, when this situation first appears, we need to solve the problem according to different causes. If it is asthma, then asthma medication is needed; it is enough to carry out scientific deworming. But if it is porcine circovirus disease, we need to do a good job in vaccine management. And if it is the phenomenon of eating but not growing caused by parasites, then deworming medication needs to be fed irregularly for deworming.

Runt pigs

Next is fetal runt; then it is necessary to breed early at the right time, manage the sow well, and reasonably formulate nutritional feed, adding Deyi San and Yimu Yuan to avoid forming weak pigs. The solution for nursing runt is similar to that for fetal runt; Deyi San, Yimu Yuan and Buneng can be supplemented at will, which can regulate the sow's health and improve milk quality. Disease runt needs to be treated according to the cause of the disease runt. Generally, we can use Deyi San and Buneng powder to supplement qi and blood and promote metabolism. For drug runt, an appropriate amount of chloramphenicols, sulfonamides, and aminoglycosides can be used, but they must not be overused, otherwise adverse reactions will also be triggered. Finally, there is toxin runt. During the breeding process, we can add the mycotoxin dual treatment agent——Pujian, which can play a detoxifying effect.
